Leviticus 26:1-39 ▼

1 “ You⁺ shall not make for yourselves idols, and you⁺ shall not rear up for yourselves a graven image or standing image, and you⁺ shall not set up an engraved stone in your⁺ land to bow down to it. For I am YHWH your⁺ God.

2 You⁺ shall keep My Sabbaths and you⁺ shall revere My sanctuary. I am YHWH.

3 If you⁺ walk in My statutes and and keep My commandments and do them,

4 then I will give to you⁺ rain in its season, and the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit,

5 and your⁺ threshing shall last until the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last until the time of sowing, and you⁺ shall eat your⁺ bread to the full and dwell safely in your⁺ land.

6 And I will give peace in the land, and you⁺ shall lie down, and nothing will make you afraid. And evil beasts I will cause to cease from the land, and the sword will not go into your⁺ land.

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

8 And five of you⁺ shall pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you⁺ shall pursue a myriad, and your⁺ enemies shall fall before you⁺ by the sword.

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

10 And you⁺ shall eat the old store a long time, and you⁺ will move out the old store because of the new.

11 And I will set My tabernacle in your⁺ midst, and My soul shall not abhor you⁺.

12 And I will walk in your⁺ midst, and I will be unto you⁺ God, and you⁺ will be unto Me for a people.

13 I am YHWH your⁺ God, who brought you⁺ out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. And I have broken the bands of your⁺ yoke and made you walk upright.

14 But if you⁺ do not obey Me and do not observe all these commandments,

15 and if you⁺ despise My statutes, and if your⁺ soul abhors My ordinances so as not to perform all My commandments to your⁺ breaking My covenant,

16 then I also will do this to you⁺: I will appoint over you⁺ terror, wasting disease, and fever, which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart, and you⁺ shall sow your⁺ seed in vain, and your⁺ enemies shall eat it.

17 And I will set My face against you⁺, and you⁺ shall be defeated by your⁺ enemies. And those who hate you⁺ shall reign over you⁺, and you⁺ shall flee when none pursues you⁺.

18 And if after these things you⁺ do not obey Me, then I will add to punish you⁺ sevenfold for your⁺ sins.

19 And I will break the pride of your⁺ power, and I will make your⁺ heavens like iron and your⁺ earth like bronze.

20 And your⁺ power 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 you⁺ walk contrary to Me and are not willing to obey Me, then I will add to you⁺ a plague sevenfold, according to your⁺ sins.

22 And I will send among you⁺ the wild beast, and it shall rob you of your⁺ children and destroy your⁺ livestock and make you⁺ few in number, and your⁺ highways shall be desolate.

23 And if by these things you⁺ are not reformed by Me, and you⁺ walk contrary to Me,

24 then I will also walk contrary to you⁺, and I will punish you⁺—even I—sevenfold for your⁺ sins.

25 And I will bring against you⁺ a sword that will kill the vengeance of the covenant. And when you⁺ are gathered together within your⁺ cities, then I will send pestilence in your⁺ midst, and you⁺ shall be given into the hand of the enemy.

26 In My breaking your⁺ staff of bread, then ten women shall bake your⁺ bread in one oven, and they shall bring back your⁺ bread by weight, and you⁺ shall eat and not be satisfied.

27 And if after all this you⁺ do not obey Me, and if you⁺ walk contrary to Me,

28 then I will also walk contrary to you⁺ in fury, and I will chastise you⁺—even I—sevenfold for your⁺ sins.

29 And you⁺ shall eat the flesh of your⁺ sons; even the flesh of your⁺ daughters you⁺ shall eat.

30 And I will destroy your⁺ high places and cut down your⁺ incense altars and cast your⁺ carcasses on the lifeless forms of your⁺ idols, and My soul will abhor you⁺.

31 And I will lay waste your⁺ cities and bring to desolation your⁺ sanctuaries, and I will not smell your⁺ pleasing. aromas

32 And I will bring to desolation the land, and your⁺ enemies who dwell in it will be astonished at it.

33 And I will scatter you⁺ among the nations and draw out after you⁺ a sword. And your⁺ land will be desolate and your⁺ cities will become waste.

34 Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths, all the days of the desolation—and you⁺ are in the land of your⁺ enemies. Then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

35 All the days of the desolation it shall rest, for it did not rest in your⁺ Sabbaths, when you⁺ dwelt in it.

36 And those remaining of you⁺, I will send faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a shaken leaf will cause them to flee, and they will flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they will fall when none pursues.

37 And they will stumble over one another as it were before a sword, when none pursues. And you⁺ shall have no standing before the face of your⁺ enemies.

38 And you⁺ shall perish among the nations, and the land of your⁺ enemies shall eat you⁺ up.

39 And those who are left of you⁺ shall waste away in their iniquity in the lands of your⁺ enemies, and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall waste away with them.
