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 shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither raise you up a standing image, neither shall you set up any image of 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 shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

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

If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

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;

Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield 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.

And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

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 in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

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

And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

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.

And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

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

For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

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

And you shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

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

And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.

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

And I will walk among you, and 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, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go 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, and will not do 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 shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that you will not do all my commandments, but that you 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;

I also will do this to you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall 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, and you shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and you shall flee when none 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 you will not yet for all this listen to me, then I will punish you seven times more 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;

And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as 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.

And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

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,

And if you walk contrary to me, and will not listen to me; I will bring seven times more plagues on you 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 also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.

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

And if you will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary to me;

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

Then will I also walk contrary to you, and will punish you yet seven times 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 on you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall 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.

And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

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

And if you will not for all this listen to me, but walk contrary to 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 contrary to you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

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

And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat.

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;

And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

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

And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the smell of your 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 bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

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.

And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities 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 shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her 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 it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelled on 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.

And on them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none 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 shall fall one on another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

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

And you shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

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.

And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

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,

If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary 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—

And that I also have walked contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of 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 will I 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.

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,

The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lies desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul 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—

And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to 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 I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, 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 and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
