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.

Ye shall make yourselves no idols, neither rear you up for yourselves carved image, or statue, nor shall ye set up a figured stone in your land, to bow down unto it; for I am Jehovah your God.

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

Ye shall observe my sabbaths, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am Jehovah.

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

If ye walk in my statutes, and observe 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 I will give your rain in the season thereof, and the land shall yield its produce, 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 shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land securely.

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 the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; and I will put away the evil beasts out of the land; and the sword shall not go through your land.

7 'And ye 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 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 put ten thousand to flight; and your enemies shall fall beside 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 turn my face towards you and make you fruitful, 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 old store, and clear away the old because of the new.

11 'And I have given My tabernacle in your midst, and My soul doth not loathe you;

And I will set my habitation 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 will be your God, and ye shall be to me a 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 Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you walk upright.

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

But if ye hearken not unto me, and do not all these commandments,

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 —

and if ye shall despise my statutes, and if your soul shall abhor mine ordinances, so that ye do not all my commandments, that ye 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;

I also will do this unto you — I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and fever, which shall cause the eyes to fail, and the soul to waste away; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

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, that ye may be routed before your enemies; they that hate you shall have dominion over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth 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 for this ye hearken not unto me, I will punish you sevenfold 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 brass;

and I will break the arrogance of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as bronze,

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 spent in vain, and your land shall not yield its produce; and the trees of the land shall not yield their 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 ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me, I will bring sevenfold more plagues upon you 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 the beasts of the field among you, that they may rob you of your children, and cut off your cattle, and make you few in number; and your streets shall be desolate.

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

And if ye will not be disciplined by me through these, but walk contrary unto me,

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

then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will smite you, even I, sevenfold 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 a sword upon you that avengeth with the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together into your cities, and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

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 break the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and shall deliver you the bread again 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 for this ye hearken not to me, but walk contrary unto 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 I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven-fold for 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 lay waste your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols; and my soul shall abhor 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 waste your cities and desolate your sanctuaries; and I will not smell your sweet odours.

32 and I have made desolate the land, and your enemies, who are dwelling in it, have been astonished at it.

And I will bring the land into desolation; that your enemies who dwell there in may be astonished 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 will draw out the sword after you; and your land shall be desolation, and your cities waste.

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 shall the land enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, when ye are in your enemies' land; then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.

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

All the days of the desolation it shall rest, [the days in] which it did not rest on your sabbaths, when ye dwelt therein.

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 as to those that remain of you — I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, that the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth;

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 they shall stumble one over another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth; and ye shall have no power to stand before 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 nations, 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, with them they consume away.

And they that remain of you shall waste away through their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also through the iniquities of their fathers shall they waste away with them.

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 iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, through their unfaithfulness wherein they were unfaithful to me, and also that they have walked contrary unto 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, —

so that I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept 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 the land I remember.

I will 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 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,

For the land shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths, when it is in desolation without them; and they shall accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they despised my judgments, and 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] Jehovah their God; —

And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not despise them, and will not abhor them, to make an end of them utterly, to break my covenant with them, for I am Jehovah 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.'

But I will remember toward them the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, that I might be their God: I am Jehovah.

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 the statutes and ordinances and laws which Jehovah made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
