What Does Leviticus 26:37 Mean?
In their terror, Israelites fall upon one another—not in combat, but in panicked flight. They collapse against each other as if fleeing before a sword, yet no enemy is visible. The internal disintegration mirrors the external military defeat: they cannot stand against any threat, imaginary or real.
The survivor's condition is a kind of permanent siege: defenseless, fractured by internal panic, utterly unable to resist. This is the final humiliation—not bold resistance but cowering collapse.
