Leviticus 26:16 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

Terror, х behaalaah (H928)] - sickness, disease [Septuagint, aporia], want, distress.

Consumption, [the Septuagint renders this psoora, scab, mange].

And the burning ague - х haqadachat (H6920), burning fever; Septuagint, ton iktera sfakelizonta tous ofthalmous, the jaundice, disordering the eyes.] Some consider these as symptoms of the same disease-consumption followed by the shivering, burning, and sweating fits that are the usual concomitants of that malady. No certain explanation can be given.
