Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Leviticus 26:45

But I will for their sakes remember the covenant. — Better, And will remember unto them the covenant, that is, as their God He will execute to them the covenant which He made with their ancestors. This verse is therefore closely connected with the preceding verse.
