Leviticus 26:43

The land also shall be left of them. — Better, but the land shall be deserted by them. The solemn warning is here reiterated, that before God will remember His covenant with the patriarchs, and also be mindful of the land, the land must be depopulated of its rebellious inhabitants, and enjoy the Sabbaths which have been denied to it. This verse, therefore which is substantially a repetition of Leviticus 26:33, seems to have been inserted here to deprecate more solemnly the heinousness of their sins.
