Leviticus 26:31 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Sanctuaries — God's sanctuary, called sanctuaries here, as also Psalms 73:17, Psalms 74:7; Jeremiah 51:51; Ezekiel 28:18, because there were divers apartments in it, each of which was a sanctuary, or, which is all one, an holy place, as they are severally called. And yours emphatically, not mine, for I disown and abhor it, and all the services you do in it, because you have defiled it. I will not smell — Not own or accept them. Your sweet odours — Either of the incense, or of your sacrifices, which when offered with faith and obedience, are sweet and acceptable to me.

Leviticus 26:31

31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
