LEB - Leviticus - 26

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.

26:2  “ ‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and you shall revere my sanctuary; I am Yahweh.

26:3  “ ‘If you walk in my statutes and you keep my commands and you do them,

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.

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.

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⌟.

26:7  And you shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword ⌞before you⌟.

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⌟.

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.

26:10  And you shall eat ⌞old grain⌟, and ⌞you shall clear away the old before the new⌟.

26:11  And I will put my dwelling place in your midst, and my inner self shall not abhor you.

26:12  And I will walk about in your midst, and I shall be your God, and you shall be my people.

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.

26:14  “ ‘But if you do not listen to me and you do not carry out all these commands,

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,

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.

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.

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.

26:19  And I will break the pride of your strength; and I will make your heaven like iron and your land like copper.

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.

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.

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.

26:23  “ ‘And if you do not accept correction from me through these things, but you go against me in hostility,

26:24  then I myself will also go against you in hostility, and I myself also will strike you seven times for your sins.

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.

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.

26:27  “ ‘And if through this you do not listen to me and you go against me in hostility,

26:28  then I will go against you in hostile anger, and also I myself will discipline you seven times for your sins.

26:29  And you shall eat the flesh of your sons; and the flesh of your daughters you shall eat.

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.

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.

26:32  And I myself will lay waste the land, and your enemies who are living in it shall be appalled over it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

26:38  And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you.

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.

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—

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.’ ”

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.
