Leviticus 26
1 “You must not make idols for yourselves or set up a carved image or sacred pillar; you must not place a sculpted stone in your land to bow down to it. For I am the LORD your God.
'Ye do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] Jehovah your God.
2 You must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.
'My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.
3 If you follow My statutes and carefully keep My commandments,
'If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, and have done them,
4 I will give you rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.
then I have given your rains in their season, and the land hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give its fruit;
5 Your threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until sowing time; you will have your fill of food to eat and will dwell securely in your land.
and reached to you hath the threshing, the gathering, and the gathering doth reach the sowing -[time]; and ye have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.
6 And I will give peace to the land, and you will lie down with nothing to fear. I will rid the land of dangerous animals, and no sword will pass through your land.
'And I have given peace in the land, and ye have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword doth not pass over into your land.
7 You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.
'And ye have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;
8 Five of you will pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.
and five of you have pursued a hundred, and a hundred of you do pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.
9 I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you.
'And I have turned unto you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;
10 You will still be eating the old supply of grain when you need to clear it out to make room for the new.
and ye have eaten old [store], and the old because of the new ye bring out.
11 And I will make My dwelling place among you, and My soul will not despise you.
'And I have given My tabernacle in your midst, and My soul doth not loathe you;
12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.
and I have walked habitually in your midst, and have become your God, and ye — ye are become My people;
13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk in uprightness.
I [am] Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke, and cause you to go erect.
14 If, however, you fail to obey Me and to carry out all these commandments,
'And if ye do not hearken to Me, and do not all these commands;
15 and if you reject My statutes, despise My ordinances, and neglect to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant,
and if at My statutes ye kick, and if My judgments your soul loathe, so as not to do all My commands — to your breaking My covenant —
16 then this is what I will do to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life. You will sow your seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.
I also do this to you, and I have appointed over you trouble, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and your seed in vain ye have sowed, and your enemies have eaten it;
17 And I will set My face against you, so that you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one pursues you.
and I have set My face against you, and ye have been smitten before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and ye have fled, and there is none pursuing you.
18 And if after all this you will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you sevenfold for your sins.
'And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, — then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;
19 I will break down your stubborn pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,
and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as brass;
20 and your strength will be spent in vain. For your land will not yield its produce, and the trees of the land will not bear their fruit.
and consumed hath been your strength in vain, and your land doth not give her produce, and the tree of the land doth not give its fruit.
21 If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins.
'And if ye walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, according to your sins,
22 I will send wild animals against you to rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and reduce your numbers, until your roads lie desolate.
and sent against you the beast of the field, and it hath bereaved you; and I have cut off your cattle, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.
23 And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
'And if by these ye are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,
24 then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.
then I have walked — I also — with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times for your sins;
25 And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
and I have brought in on you a sword, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and ye have been gathered unto your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and ye have been given into the hand of an enemy.
26 When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.
'In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and ye have eaten, and are not satisfied.
27 But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
'And if for this ye hearken not to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,
28 then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.
then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins.
29 You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.
'And ye have eaten the flesh of your sons; even flesh of your daughters ye do eat.
30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.
And I have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and My soul hath loathed you;
31 I will reduce your cities to rubble and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will refuse to smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.
and I have made your cities a waste, and have made desolate your sanctuaries, and I smell not at your sweet fragrances;
32 And I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who dwell in it will be appalled.
and I have made desolate the land, and your enemies, who are dwelling in it, have been astonished at it.
33 But I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out a sword after you as your land becomes desolate and your cities are laid waste.
And you I scatter among nations, and have drawn out after you a sword, and your land hath been a desolation, and your cities are a waste.
34 Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.
'Then doth the land enjoy its sabbaths — all the days of the desolation, and ye in the land of your enemies — then doth the land rest, and hath enjoyed its sabbaths;
35 As long as it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not receive during the Sabbaths when you lived in it.
all the days of the desolation it resteth that which it hath not rested in your sabbaths in your dwelling on it.
36 As for those of you who survive, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that even the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. And they will flee as one flees the sword, and fall when no one pursues them.
'And those who are left of you — I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away hath pursued them, and they have fled — flight from a sword — and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.
37 They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is behind them. So you will not be able to stand against your enemies.
And they have stumbled one on another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and ye have no standing before your enemies,
38 You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.
and ye have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies hath consumed you.
39 Those of you who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away in their iniquity and will decay in the sins of their fathers.
'And those who are left of you — they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, with them they consume away.
40 But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me—
'And — they have confessed their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also, that they have walked with Me, in opposition,
41 and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,
also I walk to them in opposition, and have brought them into the land of their enemies — or then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity, —
42 then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
then I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I remember, and the land I remember.
43 For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.
'And — the land is left of them, and doth enjoy its sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, against My judgments they have kicked, and My statutes hath their soul loathed,
44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.
and also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am] Jehovah their God; —
45 But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.”
then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] Jehovah.'
46 These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
These [are] the statutes, and the judgments, and the laws, which Jehovah hath given between Him and the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
