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.
I am the Lord your God. You shall not make for yourselves an idol or a graven image. Neither shall you erect a monument, or set up a conspicuous stone in your land, in order that you may adore it. For I am the Lord your God.
2 You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.
Observe my Sabbaths, and be fearful toward my Sanctuary. I am the Lord.
3 If you walk in My statutes, and you keep My commands, and have done them,
If you will walk in my precepts, and observe my commandments, and accomplish them, I will give to you rain in its time,
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;
and the ground shall bring forth its seedlings, and the trees shall be filled again with 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.
The threshing of the harvest shall last until the vintage, and the vintage shall overtake the sowing. And you shall eat your bread to fullness, and you shall live in your land without fear.
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.
I will give peace to your most distant regions. You will sleep, and there will be no one to strike you with terror. I will take away harmful wild beasts, and the sword will not cross your borders.
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 down at the sight of 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 yours will pursue a hundred foreigners, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand. Your enemies will fall by the sword in your sight.
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 look with favor upon you, and I will cause you to increase; you will be multiplied, and I will confirm my covenant with you.
10 and you have eaten old [store], and you bring out the old because of the new.
You will eat the oldest of what is old, and, when what is new arrives, you will throw away what is old.
11 And I have given My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My soul does not loathe you;
I will set my tabernacle in your midst, and my soul will not cast you out.
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 I will be your God, and you shall 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 led you away from the land of the Egyptians, lest you serve them, and who broke the chains around your necks, so that you would walk upright.
14 And if you do not listen to Me and do not do all these commands,
But if you will not listen to me, nor accomplish all of my 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—
if you despise my laws, and disdain my judgments, so that you do not accomplish those things which have been established by me, and so that you lead my covenant away into nullification,
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 I also will do these things to you. I will quickly visit you with destitution, and burning heat, which will waste away your eyes, and consume your lives. In vain will you sow your seed, which will be devoured by your enemies.
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.
I will set my face against you, and you will fall down before your enemies, and you will be subjugated to those who hate you. You will flee, though no one pursues.
18 And if up to these you [still] do not listen to Me—then I have added to discipline you sevenfold for your sins;
But if you will not be obedient to me in this way, then I will add sevenfold to your chastisement, because of your sins.
19 and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze;
And I will crush the pride in your hardness, and I will give to you heaven above like iron, and the earth below like brass.
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.
Your labor will be consumed to no purpose; the land will not bring forth seedlings, nor will the trees provide 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 as an adversary to me, and if you are not willing to listen to me, I will add sevenfold to your plagues, because of 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.
And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the field, which will consume you and your cattle, and which will reduce everything to paucity, and cause your roadways to become desolate.
23 And if by these you are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,
But if you are not willing to receive discipline in this way, and you still walk as an adversary to me,
24 then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have struck you, even I, sevenfold for your sins;
likewise, I will advance against you as an adversary, and I will strike you seven times, because of 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 lead over you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you will have fled into the cities, I will send a pestilence into your midst, and you will be delivered into the hands of your enemies.
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.
After this, I will have broken the staff of your bread, so that ten women bake bread in one oven, and distribute it by weight. And you shall eat and not be filled.
27 And if for this you do not listen to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,
Then, if you will not listen to me through these things, and you still walk against 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 also will advance against you, with an opposing fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues, because of your sins:
29 And you have eaten [the] flesh of your sons; and you eat [the] flesh of your daughters.
so much so that you will eat the flesh of your sons and your 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, and I will break apart your false images. You will fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul will abominate you:
31 and I have made your cities a ruin, and have made your sanctuaries desolate, and I do not smell your refreshing fragrance;
so much so that I will reduce your cities to a wilderness, and I will make your Sanctuaries desolate, and I will no longer accept the most sweet odors.
32 and I have made the land desolate, and your enemies who are dwelling in it have been astonished at it.
And I will utterly ruin your land, and your enemies shall be stupefied at it, when they will have become its inhabitants.
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.
Then I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will unsheathe the sword after you. And your land will be deserted, and your cities will be demolished.
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 will be pleased by her Sabbaths, throughout all the days of her solitude. So, while you will be
35 it rests all the days of the desolation [for] that which it has not rested in your Sabbaths, in your dwelling on it.
in the land of the enemy, she will worship and rest in the Sabbath of her solitude, because she will not have rested in your Sabbaths, when you lived in her.
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.
And whoever of you will remain, I will send terror into their hearts in the regions of their enemies. The sound of a flying leaf will terrify them, and so they will flee, as if from the sword. They will fall, though no one pursues.
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,
And they will each fall upon their brothers, as if they were fleeing from wars; no one among you will dare to resist your foes.
38 and you have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies has consumed you.
You will perish among the Gentiles, and the land of the enemy 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.
But if some few of these still remain, they shall waste away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they will be afflicted, because of the sins of their fathers and their own sins,
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,
until they confess their iniquities, and those of their ancestors, by which they have transgressed against me and walked as adversaries to 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—
Therefore, I also will walk against them, and I will lead them into a hostile land, until their uncircumcised mind shall be ashamed. Then shall they pray on behalf of their impiety.
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.
And I will remember my covenant, which I formed with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will also 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,
which, when she will be left behind by them, shall be pleased by her Sabbaths, enduring solitude because of them. Yet truly, they shall pray for their sins, because they cast aside my judgments, and they despised my laws.
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—
And even after so much, when they were in the land of their enemy, I did not cast them off entirely, and I did not so despise them that they would be consumed, nor so that I would nullify 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.”
And I will remember my original covenant, when I led them away from the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, so as to 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 judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord has granted between himself and the sons of Israel, on mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
