Imamat 26:6

26:6 I will grant peace in the land so that ¹  you will lie down to sleep without anyone terrifying you. ²  I will remove harmful animals ³  from the land, and no sword of war ⁴  will pass through your land.

Imamat 26:2

26:2 You must keep my Sabbaths and reverence ⁵  my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

1 Samuel 7:10

7:10 As Samuel was offering burnt offerings, the Philistines approached to do battle with Israel. ⁶  But on that day the Lord thundered loudly against the Philistines. He caused them to panic, and they were defeated by ⁷  Israel.

Yesaya 48:18

48:18 If only you had obeyed my ⁸  commandments,

prosperity would have flowed to you like a river, ⁹ 

deliverance would have come to you like the waves of the sea. ¹⁰ 

[26:6]  ¹ tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

[26:6]  ² tn Heb “and there will be no one who terrifies.” The words “to sleep” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[26:6]  ³ tn Heb “harmful animal,” singular, but taken here as a collective plural (so almost all English versions).

[26:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “no sword”; the words “of war” are supplied in the translation to indicate what the metaphor of the sword represents.

[26:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “and my sanctuary you shall fear.” Cf. NCV “respect”; CEV “honor.”

[7:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “approached for battle against Israel.”

[7:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “before.”

[48:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “paid attention to” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “had listened to.”

[48:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “like a river your peace would have been.” שָׁלוֹם (shalom) probably refers here to the peace and prosperity which God promised in return for obedience to the covenant.

[48:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” צְדָקָה (tsÿdaqah) probably refers here to divine deliverance from enemies. See v. 19.
