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.

“‘You shall make for yourselves no idols, and you shall not raise up a carved image or a pillar, and you shall not place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am the LORD your God.

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

“‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD.

3 'If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, 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 hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give its fruit;

then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, 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.

Your threshing shall continue until the vintage, and the vintage shall continue until the sowing time. You shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

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.

“‘I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid. I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

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

You 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.

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 unto you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;

“‘I will have respect for you, make you fruitful, multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

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

You shall eat old supplies long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new.

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

I will set my tent amongst you, and my soul won’t abhor you.

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

I will walk amongst you, and will be your God, and you will 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, that you should not be their slaves. I have broken the bars 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 you will not listen to me, and will not do 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 you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but 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 to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. You will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will 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.

I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.

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

“‘If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise 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 brass;

I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like 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.

Your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won’t yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land 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,

“‘If you walk contrary to me, and won’t listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on 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.

I will send the wild animals amongst you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number. Your roads will become desolate.

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

“‘If by these things you won’t be turned back to me, but will walk contrary to me,

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

then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, 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.

I will bring a sword upon you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant. You will be gathered together within your cities, and I will send the pestilence amongst you. You will 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 your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight. You shall eat, and not be satisfied.

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

“‘If you in spite of this won’t listen to me, but walk contrary to 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 to you in wrath. I will also chastise you seven times for your sins.

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

You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.

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;

I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will 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;

I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation. I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings.

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

I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it will 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.

I will scatter you amongst the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you. Your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a 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 the land will enjoy its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land. Even then the land will 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.

As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn’t have in your Sabbaths when you lived 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 hath pursued them, and they have fled — flight from a sword — and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.

“‘As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword. They will fall when no one pursues.

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,

They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues. You will 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.

You will perish amongst the nations. The land of your enemies will 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.

Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine 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,

“‘If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me; and also that because they walked contrary to 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, —

I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised heart is 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.

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

The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity because they rejected my ordinances, 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; —

Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, 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] Jehovah.'

But I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might 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 the statutes, ordinances, and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
