Leviticus 26
1 I am the Lord your God: you shall not make to yourselves any idol or graven thing, neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a remarkable stone in your land, to adore it: for I am the Lord your God.
“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.
2 Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.
You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.
3 If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, I will give you rein in due seasons.
If you walk in My statutes, and you keep My commands, and have done them,
4 And the ground shall bring forth its increase, and the trees shall be filled with fruit.
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;
5 The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear.
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.
6 I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword shall not pass through your quarters.
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.
7 You shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you.
And you have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen before you by the sword;
8 Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others, and a hundred of you ten thousand: your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
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.
9 I will look on you, and make you increase: you shell be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.
And I have turned to you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;
10 You shall eat the oldest of the old store, and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old.
and you have eaten old [store], and you bring out the old because of the new.
11 I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul shall not cast you off.
And I have given My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My soul does not loathe you;
12 I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.
and I have habitually walked in your midst, and have become your God, and you become My people;
13 I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, that you should not serve them, and who have broken the chains of your necks, that you might go upright.
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.
14 But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments,
And if you do not listen to Me and do not do all these commands,
15 If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:
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—
16 I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.
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;
17 I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you.
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.
18 But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins,
And if up to these you [still] do not listen to Me—then I have added to discipline you sevenfold for your sins;
19 And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass:
and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze;
20 Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.
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.
21 If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins:
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,
22 And I will send in upon you the beasts of the held, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number, and that your highways may be desolate.
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.
23 And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:
And if by these you are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,
24 I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times for your sins.
then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have struck you, even I, sevenfold for your sins;
25 And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies,
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.
26 After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and you shall eat, and shall not be filled.
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.
27 But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me:
And if for this you do not listen to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,
28 I will also go against you with opposite fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,
then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have disciplined you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.
29 So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters.
And you have eaten [the] flesh of your sons; and you eat [the] flesh of your daughters.
30 I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
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;
31 Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and will receive no more your sweet odours.
and I have made your cities a ruin, and have made your sanctuaries desolate, and I do not smell your refreshing fragrance;
32 And I will destroy your land, and your enemies shall be astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof.
and I have made the land desolate, and your enemies who are dwelling in it have been astonished at it.
33 And I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be desert, and your cities destroyed.
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.
34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her desolation: when you shall be
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;
35 In the enemy’s land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the sabbaths of her desolation, because she did not rest in your sabbaths when you dwelt therein.
it rests all the days of the desolation [for] that which it has not rested in your Sabbaths, in your dwelling on it.
36 And as to them that shall remain of you I will send fear in their hearts in the countries of their enemies, the sound of a flying leaf shall terrify them, and they shall flee as it were from the sword: they shall fall, when no man pursueth them,
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.
37 And they shall every one fall upon their brethren as fleeing from wars, none of you shall dare to resist your enemies.
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,
38 You shall perish among the Gentiles, and an enemy’s land shall consume you.
and you have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies has consumed you.
39 And if of them also some remain, they shall pine away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they shall be afflicted for the sins of their fathers, and their own:
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.
40 Until they confess their iniquities and the iniquities of their ancestors, whereby they have transgressed me, and walked contrary unto me.
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,
41 Therefore I also will walk them, and bring them into their enemies’ land until their uncircumcised mind be ashamed: then shall they pray for their sins.
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—
42 And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land:
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.
43 Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths, being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws.
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,
44 And yet for all that when they were in the land of their enemies, I did not cast them off altogether, neither did I so despise them that they should be quite consumed, and I should make void my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.
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—
45 And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I am the Lord.
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.”
46 These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
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.
