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 to yourselves gods made with hands, or graven; neither shall you rear up a pillar for yourselves, neither shall you set up a stone [for] an object in your land to worship it: 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 sanctuaries: 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 ordinances, 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 will I give you the rain in its season, and the land shall produce its fruits, 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 time shall overtake the vintage, and your vintage shall overtake your seed time; and you shall eat your bread to the full; and you shall dwell safely upon your land, and war shall not go through 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 in your land, and you shall sleep, and none [shall] make you afraid; and I will destroy the evil beasts out of your land,
7 And you have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;
and you shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you with slaughter.
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 a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase tens of thousands; 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;
And I will look upon you, and increase you, 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 that which is old and very old, and bring forth the old to make way for the new.
11 And I have given My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My soul does not loathe you;
And I will 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 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 brought you out of the land of Egypt, where you were slaves; and I broke the band of your yoke, and brought you forth openly.
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 obey these my ordinances,
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—
but disobey them, and your soul should loathe my judgments, so that you should not keep all my commands, so as to 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 will I do thus to you: I will even bring upon you perplexity and the itch, and the fever that causes your eyes to waste away, and [disease] that consumes your life; and you shall sow your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them.
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 fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall pursue you; and you shall flee, no one pursuing 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 still refuse to listen to me, then will I chasten you yet more even seven times 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 down the haughtiness of your pride; and I will make your heaven iron, and your earth as it were 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 in vain; and your land shall not yield its seed, and the tree of your field shall not yield its 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,
And if after this you should walk perversely, and not be willing to obey me, I will further bring upon you seven plagues 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.
And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the land, and they shall devour you, and shall consume your cattle: and I will make you few in number, and your ways shall be desolate.
23 And if by these you are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,
And if hereupon you are not corrected, but walk perversely towards me,
24 then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have struck you, even I, sevenfold for your sins;
I also will walk with you with a perverse spirit, and I also will strike you 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 upon you a sword avenging the cause of [my] covenant, and you shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I will send out death against you, and you shall 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.
When I afflict you with famine of bread, then ten women shall bake your loaves in one oven, and they shall render your loaves 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 hereupon you will not obey me, but walk perversely towards me,
28 then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have disciplined you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.
then will I walk with you with a froward mind, and I will chasten you sevenfold according to 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 render your pillars desolate, and will utterly destroy your wooden [images] made with hands; and I will lay your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall loathe 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 lay your cities waste, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell the savor 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 your land desolate, and your enemies who dwell in it shall wonder 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 nations, and the sword shall come upon you and consume you; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities shall be desolate.
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 of its desolation.
35 it rests all the days of the desolation [for] that which it has not rested in your Sabbaths, in your dwelling on it.
And you shall be in the land of your enemies; then the land shall keep its sabbaths, and the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation: it shall keep sabbaths which it kept not among your 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.
And to those who are left of you I will bring bondage into their heart in the land of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from war, and shall fall when none 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,
And brother shall disregard brother as in war, when none pursues; and you shall not be able to withstand 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 Gentiles, and the land of your enemies shall devour 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.
And those who are left of you shall perish, because of their sins, and because of the sins of their fathers: in the land of their enemies shall they consume away.
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,
And they shall confess their sins, and the sins of their fathers, that they have transgressed and neglected me, and that they have walked perversely before 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 walked with them with a perverse mind; and I will destroy them in the land of their enemies: then shall their uncircumcised heart be ashamed, and then shall they acquiesce in [the punishment of] their sins.
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 the covenant of Jacob, and the covenant of Isaac, and the covenant of Abraam will I remember.
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,
And I will remember the land, and the land shall be left of them; then the land shall enjoy her sabbaths, when it is deserted through them: and they shall accept [the punishment of] their iniquities, because they neglected my judgments, and in their soul loathed my ordinances.
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 not even thus, while they were in the land of their enemies, did I overlook them, nor did I loathe them so as to consume them, to break my covenant made 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 their former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage before the nation, 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 my judgments and my ordinances, and the law which the Lord gave between himself and the children of Israel, in the mount Sina, by the hand of Moses.
