What Does Leviticus 26:45 Mean?
For their sakes—for the sake of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the generation of the Exodus—God remembers. The covenant with the ancestors is God's ground of Israel's redemption. The Exodus itself is the sign of that covenant commitment: God brought Israel out in sight of the nations to establish Himself as their God.
The reiteration of identity—'I am the LORD'—seals the promise. God is unchanging; His covenant is eternal. Israel's restoration is as certain as God's nature.
