The verses around Leviticus 26:6.
4Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
7And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
Verse explanation
In this list of blessings, peace in the land appears alongside two very concrete threats of the ancient world: wild animals and war. Sleeping in safety was not just a figure of speech — it literally meant not fearing an attack by a wild beast or an enemy army during the night.
From the Leviticus 26 study in Bible in Stories.
