Definitions for Leviticus 26:39

Iniquity - Sin; wickedness; evil.

Barnes's Leviticus 26:39 Bible Commentary

Iniquity - The meaning here is, in the punishment of their iniquity, and, in the next clause, in the punishment of the iniquity (as in Leviticus 26:41, Leviticus 26:43) of their fathers. In the next verse the same Hebrew word is properly represented by "iniquity." Our translators have in several places put one of the English words in the text and the other in the margin (Genesis 4:13; Genesis 19:15; 2 Kings 7:9; Psalm 69:27, etc.). The language of Scripture does not make that trenchant division between sin and punishment which we are accustomed to do. Sin is its own punishment, having in itself, from its very commencement, the germ of death. "Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death" James 1:15; Romans 2:5; Romans 5:12.

Wesley's Leviticus 26:39 Bible Commentary

26:39 Pine away - Be consumed and melt away by degrees through diseases, oppressions, griefs, and manifold miseries.
