And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I am the Lord. These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel, in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus 26:43 Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths, being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws.
Leviticus 26:44 And yet for all that when they were in the land of their enemies, I did not cast them off altogether. Neither did I so despise them that they should be quite consumed: and I should make void my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.
Leviticus 26:45 And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I am the Lord. These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel, in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
The verse centers on "remember", "former", "covenant", "brought", "land", "egypt", "sight", and "gentiles". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "remember" and "former", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The prior verse says "And yet for all that when they...", giving immediate footing for "remember" and "former". In Leviticus context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "remember" and "former" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
