Leviticus 26

1 'Ye do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] Jehovah your God.

I [am] the Lord your God: ye shall not make to yourselves gods made with hands, or graven; neither shall ye rear up a pillar for yourselves, neither shall ye set up a stone [for] an object in your land to worship it: I am the Lord your God.

2 'My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.

Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.

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

If ye 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 hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give 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 reached to you hath the threshing, the gathering, and the gathering doth reach the sowing -[time]; and ye 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 ye shall eat your bread to the full; and ye shall dwell safely upon your land, and war shall not go through your land.

6 'And I have given peace in the land, and ye have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword doth not pass over into your land.

And I will give peace in your land, and ye shall sleep, and none [shall] make you afraid; and I will destroy the evil beasts out of your land,

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

and ye shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you with slaughter.

8 and five of you have pursued a hundred, and a hundred of you do 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 unto 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 ye have eaten old [store], and the old because of the new ye bring out.

And ye 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 tabernacle in your midst, and My soul doth not loathe you;

And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not abhor you;

12 and I have walked habitually in your midst, and have become your God, and ye — ye are become My people;

and I will walk among you, and be your God, and ye shall be my people.

13 I [am] Jehovah your God, who have 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 ye were slaves; and I broke the band of your yoke, and brought you forth openly.

14 'And if ye do not hearken to Me, and do not all these commands;

But if ye will not hearken to me, nor obey these my ordinances,

15 and if at My statutes ye kick, and if My judgments your soul loathe, 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 ye should not keep all my commands, so as to break my covenant,

16 I also do this to you, and I have appointed over you trouble, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and your seed in vain ye have sowed, 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 ye shall sow your seeds in vain, and your enemies shall eat them.

17 and I have set My face against you, and ye have been smitten before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and ye have fled, and there is none pursuing you.

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall fall before your enemies, and they that hate you shall pursue you; and ye shall flee, no one pursuing you.

18 'And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, — then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;

And if ye still refuse to hearken 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 brass;

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 consumed hath been your strength in vain, and your land doth not give her produce, and the tree of the land doth 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 ye walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, according to your sins,

And if after this ye 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 against you the beast of the field, and it hath bereaved you; and I have cut off your cattle, 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 ye are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,

And if hereupon ye are not corrected, but walk perversely towards me,

24 then I have walked — I also — with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, seven times for your sins;

I also will walk with you with a perverse spirit, and I also will smite you seven times for your sins.

25 and I have brought in on you a sword, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and ye have been gathered unto your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and ye have been given into the hand of an enemy.

And I will bring upon you a sword avenging the cause of [my] covenant, and ye shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I will send out death against you, and ye shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies.

26 'In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and ye 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 ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 'And if for this ye hearken not to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,

And if hereupon ye will not obey me, but walk perversely towards me,

28 then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins.

then will I walk with you with a froward mind, and I will chasten you seven-fold according to your sins.

29 'And ye have eaten the flesh of your sons; even flesh of your daughters ye do eat.

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 carcases on the carcases of your idols, and My soul hath 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 waste, and have made desolate your sanctuaries, and I smell not at your sweet fragrances;

And I will lay your cities waste, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell the savour of your sacrifices.

32 and I have made desolate the land, 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 you I scatter among nations, and have drawn out after you a sword, and your land hath been a desolation, and your cities are a waste.

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 doth the land enjoy its sabbaths — all the days of the desolation, and ye in the land of your enemies — then doth the land rest, and hath enjoyed its sabbaths;

Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation.

35 all the days of the desolation it resteth that which it hath not rested in your sabbaths in your dwelling on it.

And ye 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 ye dwelt 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 hath pursued them, and they have fled — 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 one on another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and ye have no standing before your enemies,

And brother shall disregard brother as in war, when none pursues; and ye shall not be able to withstand your enemies.

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

And ye 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, with them they consume away.

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 — 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 also I walk to them in opposition, and have brought them into the land of their enemies — or 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 the land I remember.

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 of them, and doth enjoy its sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, against My judgments they have kicked, and My statutes hath their soul loathed,

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] Jehovah their God; —

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] Jehovah.'

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 Jehovah hath 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.
