Leviticus 26

1 Ye shall make yourselves no idols, neither rear you up for yourselves carved image, or statue, nor shall ye set up a figured stone in your land, to bow down unto it; for I am Jehovah 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 Ye shall observe my sabbaths, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am Jehovah.

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

3 If ye walk in my statutes, and observe my commandments and do them,

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

4 then I will give your rain in the season thereof, and the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield 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 your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land securely.

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 peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; and I will put away the evil beasts out of the land; and the sword shall not 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 ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword;

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

8 and five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; and your enemies shall fall beside you by the sword.

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 turn my face towards you and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant 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 ye shall eat old store, and clear away 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 set my habitation among you; and my soul shall not abhor you;

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

12 and I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be to me a people.

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

13 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you walk 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 ye hearken not unto me, and do not all these commandments,

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

15 and if ye shall despise my statutes, and if your soul shall abhor mine ordinances, so that ye do not all my commandments, that ye break my covenant,

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 I also will do this unto you — I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and fever, which shall cause the eyes to fail, and the soul to waste away; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

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 I will set my face against you, that ye may be routed before your enemies; they that hate you shall have dominion over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth 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 for this ye hearken not unto me, I will punish you sevenfold 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 I will break the arrogance of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as bronze,

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 shall be spent in vain, and your land shall not yield its produce; and the trees of the land shall not yield 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 ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me, I will bring sevenfold more plagues upon you according to 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 And I will send the beasts of the field among you, that they may rob you of your children, and cut off your cattle, and make you few in number; and your streets shall be desolate.

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 ye will not be disciplined by me through these, but walk contrary unto me,

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

24 then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will smite you, even I, sevenfold for 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 bring a sword upon you that avengeth with the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together into your cities, and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

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 break the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and shall deliver you the bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

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 for this ye hearken not to me, but walk contrary unto me,

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

28 then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven-fold 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 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

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

30 And I will lay waste your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you.

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 lay waste your cities and desolate your sanctuaries; and I will not smell your sweet odours.

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 bring the land into desolation; that your enemies who dwell there in may be astonished at 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 scatter you among the nations, and will draw out the sword after you; and your land shall be desolation, and your cities 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 shall the land enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, when ye are in your enemies' land; then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.

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 of the desolation it shall rest, [the days in] which it did not rest on your sabbaths, when ye dwelt therein.

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 to those that remain of you — I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, that the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth;

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 and they shall stumble one over another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth; and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

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 ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

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

39 And they that remain of you shall waste away through their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also through the iniquities of their fathers shall they waste away with them.

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 shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, through their unfaithfulness wherein they were unfaithful to me, and also that they have walked contrary unto 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 also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity,

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 I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; 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 I remember the land.

43 For the land shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, when it is in desolation without them; and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they despised my judgments, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

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 And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not despise them, and will not abhor them, to make an end of them utterly, to break my covenant with them, for I am Jehovah 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 But I will remember toward them the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, that I might be their God: I am Jehovah.

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 statutes and ordinances and laws which Jehovah made between him 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.
