Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

Leviticus 26:42

I will remember my covenant So as to make good all that I have promised in it. For words of knowledge or remembrance, in Scripture, commonly denote affection and kindness. I will remember the land Which now seems to be forgotten and despised, as if I had never chosen it to be the peculiar place of my presence and blessing.
