Leviticus 26:1-20 ▼

1 [“] You⁺ must not make idols for yourselves or set up a carved image or sacred pillar; you⁺ must not place a sculpted stone in your⁺ land to bow down to it. For I am the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem}.

2 You⁺ must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD {YHWH}.

3 If you⁺ follow My statutes and carefully keep My commandments,

4 I will give you⁺ rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.

5 Your⁺ threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until sowing time; you⁺ will have your⁺ fill of food to eat and will dwell securely in your⁺ land.

6 And I will give peace to the land, and you⁺ will lie down with nothing to fear. I will rid the land of dangerous animals, and no sword will pass through your⁺ land.

7 You⁺ will pursue your⁺ enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you⁺.

8 Five of you⁺ will pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you⁺ will pursue ten thousand, and your⁺ enemies will fall by the sword before you⁺.

9 I will turn toward you⁺ and make you fruitful and multiply you⁺, and I will establish My covenant with you⁺.

10 You⁺ will still be eating the old supply of grain when you⁺ need to clear it out to make room for the new.

11 And I will make My dwelling place (My tabernacle) among you⁺, and My soul will not despise (reject) you⁺.

12 I will walk among you⁺ and be your⁺ God {Elohim}, and you⁺ will be My people <2Co 6:16>.

13 I am the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem}, who brought you⁺ out of the land of Egypt (land of bondage) so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians. I broke the bars of your⁺ yoke and enabled you to walk in uprightness.

14 If, however, you⁺ fail to obey Me and to carry out all these commandments,

15 and if you⁺ reject My statutes, despise My ordinances, and neglect to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant,

16 then this is what I will do to you⁺: I will bring upon you⁺ sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life. You⁺ will sow your⁺ seed in vain, because your⁺ enemies will eat it.

17 And I will set My face against you⁺, so that you⁺ will be defeated by your⁺ enemies. Those who hate you⁺ will rule over you⁺, and you⁺ will flee when no one pursues you⁺.

18 And if after all this you⁺ will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you⁺ sevenfold for your⁺ sins.

19 I will break down your⁺ stubborn pride and make your⁺ sky like iron and your⁺ land like bronze,

20 and your⁺ strength will be spent in vain. For your⁺ land will not yield its produce, and the trees of the land will not bear their fruit.
