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.

Ye shall not make yourselves any idols, and a graven image, or a standing image shall ye not rear up unto you, and any carved stone shall you not place in your land, to bow down upon it; for I am the Eternal your God.

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

My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am the Lord.

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

If in my statutes ye walk, and if my commandments ye keep, 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 rains in their due season, and the earth shall yield her products, and the tree of the field shall yield its 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 the threshing shall reach with you unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and ye shall dwell in safety 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 in the land, and ye shall lie down, with none to make you afraid; and I will remove evil beasts out of the land, and the sword shall not pass through your land.

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

And ye 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 a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; 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 turn myself unto 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.

And ye shall eat very old store, and the old shall ye remove away because of 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 dwelling among you; and my soul shall not loath 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 I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a 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 Eternal your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bond-men; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and caused you to walk upright.

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

But if ye will not hearken unto 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 my statutes ye despise, and if my ordinances your soul loath, so as not to do all my commandments, in that ye 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 also do this unto you, and I will inflict on you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart; and ye shall sow in vain your seed, 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 ye shall be struck down before your enemies: and they that hate you shall bear rule over you; and ye shall flee while there is 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 with these things even ye will not yet hearken unto me: then will I chastise you yet more, 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;

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

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 in vain shall your strength be spent; for your land shall not yield her products, and the tree of the land 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 ye walk yet contrary unto me, and if you refuse to hearken unto me: then will I bring more plagues upon you, sevenfold 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 out against you the beasts of the field, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and diminish yourselves; so that your roads shall be desolate.

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

And if notwithstanding these things ye will not be reformed by me, and walk contrary unto 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 unto you, and I also will punish 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 over you the sword, avenging the quarrel of my covenant, so that ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and then will I send the pestilence among you, that ye shall deliver yourselves 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 break unto you the staff of bread; and ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye 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 notwithstanding this ye will not hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto 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 also walk contrary unto you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you, sevenfold for your sins.

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

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye 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 sun-images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and my soul shall loath 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 render your cities a waste, and I will make desolate your sanctuaries, and I will not smell the savor 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 surely make desolate the land: and your enemies who 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 you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out after you the sword; and your land shall be a desolate wild, and your cities shall be a 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 satisfy its sabbaths, all the days of its desolation, when ye are in the land of your enemies: then shall the land rest, and satisfy 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.

All the days of its desolation shall it rest, the time which it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon 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 regarding those that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a leaf shaken shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from the sword; and they shall fall with none pursuing.

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 stumble one over the other, as before the sword, without one pursuing: and ye shall have no power to stand up before your enemies.

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

And ye shall be lost among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall 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.

And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in the land of your enemies; and also through 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,

And they shall then confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, [that] through their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that [because] they had walked contrary unto 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—

I also had to walk contrary unto them, and to bring them into the land of their enemies; and then shall their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and then shall they satisfy 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.

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

For the land shall be forsaken by them, and shall satisfy its sabbaths, while it lieth desolate without them, and they shall satisfy their iniquity; because, even because my ordinances they despised, and my statutes their soul loathed.

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, though they be in the land of their enemies, will I not cast them away, neither will I loath them, to destroy them utterly, 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 remember for their sakes the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, that I might be unto them a 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 ordinances and laws, which the Lord made between him and the children of Israel on mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
