Context of Leviticus 26:3
1‘You shall not make for yourselves idols, nor shall you set up for yourselves a carved image or a memorial stone, nor shall you place a figured stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the Lord your God. 2You shall keep My Sabbaths and revere My sanctuary; I am the Lord. If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments so as to carry them out, 4then I shall give you rains in their season, so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will bear their fruit. 5Indeed, your threshing season will last for you until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until sowing time. So you will eat your food to the full and live securely in your land.

But the covenant itself was unchangeable (Leviticus 26:44–45; see Romans 11:29). Israel could not cancel it.
