Leviticus 26
1 “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.
“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.
2 You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.
You must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.
3 If you walk in My statutes, and you keep My commands, and have done them,
If you follow My statutes and carefully keep My commandments,
4 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;
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.
5 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.
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.
6 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.
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.
7 And you have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;
You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.
8 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.
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.
9 And I have turned to you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;
I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you.
10 and you have eaten old [store], and you bring out the old because of the new.
You will still be eating the old supply of grain when you need to clear it out to make room for the new.
11 And I have given My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My soul does not loathe you;
And I will make My dwelling place among you, and My soul will not despise you.
12 and I have habitually walked in your midst, and have become your God, and you become My people;
I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.
13 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.
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.
14 And if you do not listen to Me and do not do all these commands,
If, however, you fail to obey Me and to carry out all these commandments,
15 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—
and if you reject My statutes, despise My ordinances, and neglect to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant,
16 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;
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.
17 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.
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.
18 And if up to these you [still] do not listen to Me—then I have added to discipline you sevenfold for your sins;
And if after all this you will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you sevenfold for your sins.
19 and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze;
I will break down your stubborn pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,
20 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.
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.
21 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,
If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins.
22 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.
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.
23 And if by these you are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,
And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
24 then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have struck you, even I, sevenfold for your sins;
then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.
25 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.
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.
26 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.
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.
27 And if for this you do not listen to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,
But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
28 then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have disciplined you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.
then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.
29 And you have eaten [the] flesh of your sons; and you eat [the] flesh of your daughters.
You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.
30 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;
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.
31 and I have made your cities a ruin, and have made your sanctuaries desolate, and I do not smell your refreshing fragrance;
I will reduce your cities to rubble and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will refuse to smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.
32 and I have made the land desolate, and your enemies who are dwelling in it have been astonished at it.
And I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who dwell in it will be appalled.
33 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.
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.
34 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;
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.
35 it rests all the days of the desolation [for] that which it has not rested in your Sabbaths, in your dwelling on it.
As long as it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not receive during the Sabbaths when you lived in it.
36 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.
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.
37 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,
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.
38 and you have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies has consumed you.
You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.
39 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.
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.
40 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,
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—
41 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—
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,
42 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.
then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
43 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,
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.
44 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—
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.
45 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.”
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.”
46 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.
These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
