Chapter 26
Levi LEB 26:1  “ ‘You shall not make for yourselves idols and divine images, and you shall not raise up stone pillars for yourselves, and you shall not put a sculptured stone in your land in order to worship before it, because I am Yahweh your God.
Levi LEB 26:2  “ ‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and you shall revere my sanctuary; I am Yahweh.
Levi LEB 26:3  “ ‘If you walk in my statutes and you keep my commands and you do them,
Levi LEB 26:4  then I will give you rains in their time, and the land shall give its produce, and the trees of the field shall give their fruit.
Levi LEB 26:5  And for you the threshing season shall overtake the grape harvest, and the grape harvest shall overtake the sowing, and you shall eat your food ⌞to your fill⌟ and you shall live ⌞securely⌟ in your land.
Levi LEB 26:6  And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and there shall not be ⌞anybody who makes you afraid⌟, and I will remove harmful animals from the land, and ⌞no sword shall pass through your land⌟.
Levi LEB 26:7  And you shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword ⌞before you⌟.
Levi LEB 26:8  And five of you shall pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you shall pursue a myriad; and your enemies shall fall by the sword ⌞before you⌟.
Levi LEB 26:9  And I will turn to you, and I will make you fruitful, and I will make you numerous; and I will keep my covenant with you.
Levi LEB 26:10  And you shall eat ⌞old grain⌟, and ⌞you shall clear away the old before the new⌟.
Levi LEB 26:11  And I will put my dwelling place in your midst, and my inner self shall not abhor you.
Levi LEB 26:12  And I will walk about in your midst, and I shall be your God, and you shall be my people.
Levi LEB 26:13  I am Yahweh, your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from being their slaves; and I broke the bars of your yoke, and I caused you to walk erectly.
Levi LEB 26:14  “ ‘But if you do not listen to me and you do not carry out all these commands,
Levi LEB 26:15  and if you reject my statutes and if your inner self abhors my regulations, to not carry out all my commands by your breaking my covenant,
Levi LEB 26:16  I ⌞in turn⌟ will do this to you: then I will summon onto you horror, the wasting disease, and the fever that wastes eyes and that drains away life; and you shall sow your seed ⌞in vain⌟, and your enemies shall eat it.
Levi LEB 26:17  And I will set my face against you, and you shall be defeated ⌞before⌟ your enemies; and your haters shall rule over you, and you shall flee away, but there shall not be ⌞anybody who is pursuing⌟ you.
Levi LEB 26:18  “ ‘And if in spite of these things you do not listen to me, then I will continue to discipline you seven times for your sins.
Levi LEB 26:19  And I will break the pride of your strength; and I will make your heaven like iron and your land like copper.
Levi LEB 26:20  And your strength shall be consumed ⌞in vain⌟; and your land shall not give its produce, and the land’s trees shall not give their fruit.
Levi LEB 26:21  “ ‘And if you go against me in hostility and you are not willing to listen to me, then I will add a plague onto you seven times according to your sins.
Levi LEB 26:22  And I will send ⌞wild animals⌟ out among you, and they shall make you childless, and they shall cut down your domestic animals, and they shall make you fewer; and your roads shall be desolate.
Levi LEB 26:23  “ ‘And if you do not accept correction from me through these things, but you go against me in hostility,
Levi LEB 26:24  then I myself will also go against you in hostility, and I myself also will strike you seven times for your sins.
Levi LEB 26:25  And I will bring upon you a sword that seeks vengeance for the covenant, and you shall be gathered to your cities; and I will send a plague in your midst, and you shall be given into the hand of an enemy.
Levi LEB 26:26  At my breaking the ⌞supply⌟ of bread for you, then ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall return your bread by weight; and you shall eat it, and you shall not be satisfied.
Levi LEB 26:27  “ ‘And if through this you do not listen to me and you go against me in hostility,
Levi LEB 26:28  then I will go against you in hostile anger, and also I myself will discipline you seven times for your sins.
Levi LEB 26:29  And you shall eat the flesh of your sons; and the flesh of your daughters you shall eat.
Levi LEB 26:30  And I will destroy your high places, and I will cut down your incense altars, and I will place your corpses on your idols’ corpses; and my inner self shall abhor you.
Levi LEB 26:31  And I will lay your cities in ruins, and I will lay waste your sanctuaries; and I shall not smell your sacrifices’ appeasing fragrance.
Levi LEB 26:32  And I myself will lay waste the land, and your enemies who are living in it shall be appalled over it.
Levi LEB 26:33  And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw a sword behind you; and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a ruin.
Levi LEB 26:34  Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days of its lying desolate, and you shall be in the land of your enemies; then the land shall rest, and it shall enjoy its Sabbaths.
Levi LEB 26:35  All the days of its lying desolate it shall rest for the time that it had not rested during your Sabbaths while you were living on it.
Levi LEB 26:36  As for the ones who remain among you, I will bring fearfulness in their hearts in the land of their enemies; and a sound of a windblown leaf shall pursue them, and they shall flee like flight ⌞before⌟ a sword, and they shall fall, but there shall not be a pursuer.
Levi LEB 26:37  And they shall stumble over ⌞one another⌟ as ⌞from before⌟ a sword, but there shall not be a pursuer; and ⌞you shall have no resistance⌟ ⌞before⌟ your enemies.
Levi LEB 26:38  And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you.
Levi LEB 26:39  And because of their guilt, the ones among you who remain shall decay in the land of their enemies; and also because of the iniquities of their ancestors, they shall decay with them.
Levi LEB 26:40  “ ‘But when they confess their guilt and the guilt of their ancestors in their infidelity that they displayed against me, and moreover that they went against me in hostility—
Levi LEB 26:41  I myself also went against them in hostility, and I brought them into the land of their enemies—or if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled and then they pay for their guilt,
Levi LEB 26:42  I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and I will remember also my covenant with Isaac and also my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
Levi LEB 26:43  And the land shall be deserted by them, and it shall enjoy its Sabbaths in its being desolate from them, and they themselves must pay for their guilt, ⌞simply because⌟ they rejected my regulations, and their inner self abhorred my statutes.
Levi LEB 26:44  And ⌞in spite of⌟ this, ⌞when they are⌟ in the land of their enemies I will not reject them, and I will not abhor them to destroy them, to break my covenant with them, because I am Yahweh their God.
Levi LEB 26:45  And I will remember the first covenant for them—whom I brought out from the land of Egypt ⌞in the sight of⌟ the nations ⌞to be their God⌟. I am Yahweh.’ ”
Levi LEB 26:46  These are the rules and the regulations and the laws that Yahweh gave between himself and the ⌞Israelites⌟ on ⌞Mount Sinai⌟ ⌞through⌟ Moses.
