Leviticus 26

1 Do not make images of false gods, or put up an image cut in stone or a pillar or any pictured stone in your land, to give worship to it; for I am the Lord your God.

“You do not make idols for yourselves; and you do not set up carved image or standing image for yourselves; and you do not put a stone of imagery in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] your God YHWH.

2 Keep my Sabbaths and give honour to my holy place: I am the Lord.

You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.

3 If you are guided by my rules, and keep my laws and do them,

If you walk in My statutes, and you keep My commands, and have done them,

4 Then I will give you rain at the right time, and the land will give her increase and the trees of the field will give their fruit;

then I have given your rains in their season, and the land has given her produce, and the tree of the field gives its fruit;

5 And the crushing of the grain will overtake the cutting of the grapes, and the cutting of the grapes will overtake the planting of the seed, and there will be bread in full measure, and you will be living in your land safely.

and the threshing has reached to you, [and] the gathering, and the gathering reaches the sowing-[time]; and you have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.

6 And I will give you peace in the land, and you will take your rest and no one will give you cause for fear; and I will put an end to all evil beasts in the land, and no sword of war will go through your land.

And I have given peace in the land, and you have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword does not pass over into your land.

7 And you will put to flight those who are against you, and they will be put to death by your swords.

And you have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;

8 Then five of you will put to flight a hundred, and a hundred of you will put to flight ten thousand, and all who are against you will be put to death by your swords.

and five of you have pursued one hundred, and one hundred of you pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.

9 And I will have pleasure in you and make you fertile and greater in number; and I will keep my agreement with you.

And I have turned to you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;

10 And old stores long kept will be your food, and you will take out the old because of the new;

and you have eaten old [store], and you bring out the old because of the new.

11 And I will put my holy House among you, and my soul will not be turned away from you in disgust.

And I have given My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My soul does not loathe you;

12 And I will be present among you and will be your God and you will be my people.

and I have habitually walked in your midst, and have become your God, and you become My people;

13 I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt so that you might not be servants to them; by me the cords of your yoke were broken and I made you go upright.

I [am] your God YHWH, who has 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 But if you do not give ear to me, and do not keep all these my laws;

And if you do not listen to Me and do not do all these commands,

15 And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;

and if you kick at My statutes, and if your soul loathes My judgments, so as not to do all My commands—to your breaking My covenant—

16 This will I do to you: I will put fear in your hearts, even wasting disease and burning pain, drying up the eyes and making the soul feeble, and you will get no profit from your seed, for your haters will take it for food.

I also do this to you: I have even appointed trouble over you, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and you have sowed your seed in vain, and your enemies have eaten it;

17 And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

and I have set My face against you, and you have been struck before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and you have fled when there is none pursuing you.

18 And if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send you punishment seven times more for your sins.

And if up to these you [still] do not listen to Me—then I have added to discipline you sevenfold for your sins;

19 And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;

and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze;

20 And your strength will be used up without profit; for your land will not give her increase and the trees of the field will not give their fruit.

and your strength has been consumed in vain, and your land does not give her produce, and the tree of the land does not give its fruit.

21 And if you still go against me and will not give ear to me, I will put seven times more punishments on you because of your sins.

And if you walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to listen to Me, then I have added to you a plague sevenfold, according to your sins,

22 I will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will become small and your roads become waste.

and sent the beast of the field against you, and it has bereaved you; and I have cut off your livestock, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.

23 And if by these things you will not be turned to me, but still go against me;

And if by these you are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,

24 Then I will go against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for all your sins.

then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have struck you, even I, sevenfold for your sins;

25 And I will send a sword on you to give effect to the punishment of my agreement; and when you come together into your towns I will send disease among you and you will be given up into the hands of your haters.

and I have brought in a sword on you, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and you have been gathered to your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and you have been given into the hand of an enemy.

26 When I take away your bread of life, ten women will be cooking bread in one oven, and your bread will be measured out by weight; you will have food but never enough.

In My breaking your staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and you have eaten and are not satisfied.

27 And if, after all this, you do not give ear to me, but go against me still,

And if for this you do not listen to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,

28 Then my wrath will be burning against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for your sins.

then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have disciplined you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.

29 Then you will take the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters for food;

And you have eaten [the] flesh of your sons; and you eat [the] flesh of your daughters.

30 And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.

And I have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and My soul has loathed you;

31 And I will make your towns waste and send destruction on your holy places; I will take no pleasure in the smell of your sweet perfumes;

and I have made your cities a ruin, and have made your sanctuaries desolate, and I do not smell your refreshing fragrance;

32 And I will make your land a waste, a wonder to your haters living in it.

and I have made the land desolate, and your enemies who are dwelling in it have been astonished at it.

33 And I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and your towns will be made waste.

And I scatter you among nations, and have drawn out a sword after you, and your land has been a desolation, and your cities are a ruin.

34 Then will the land take pleasure in its Sabbaths while it is waste and you are living in the land of your haters; then will the land have rest.

Then the land enjoys its Sabbaths all the days of the desolation—and you [are] in the land of your enemies; then the land rests, and has enjoyed its Sabbaths;

35 All the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it.

it rests all the days of the desolation [for] that which it has not rested in your Sabbaths, in your dwelling on it.

36 And as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight, and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes after 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 has pursued them, and they have fled [as in] flight from a sword—and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.

37 Falling on one another, as before the sword, when no one comes after them; you will give way before your haters.

And they have stumbled on one another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and you have no standing before your enemies,

38 And death will overtake you among strange nations, and the land of your haters will be your destruction.

and you have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies has consumed you.

39 And those of you who are still living will be wasting away in their sins in the land of your haters; in the sins of their fathers they will be wasting away.

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, they consume away with them.

40 And they will have grief for their sins and for the sins of their fathers, when their hearts were untrue to me, and they went against me;

And [if] 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 So that I went against them and sent them away into the land of their haters: if then the pride of their hearts is broken and they take the punishment of their sins,

when I also walk in opposition to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity—

42 Then I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will keep in mind 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 I remember the land.

43 And the land, while she is without them, will keep her Sabbaths; and they will undergo the punishment of their sins, because they were turned away from my decisions and in their souls was hate for my laws.

And the land is left by them, and enjoys its Sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, they have kicked against My judgments, and their soul has loathed My statutes,

44 But for all that, when they are in the land of their haters I will not let them go, or be turned away from them, or give them up completely; my agreement with them will not be broken, 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] their God YHWH—

45 And because of them I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with their fathers, whom I took out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to 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] YHWH.”

46 These are the rules, decisions, and laws, which the Lord made between himself and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.

These [are] the statutes, and the judgments, and the laws, which YHWH has given between Him and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
