Leviticus 26

Blessings of Obedience

1‘You shall not makeH6213 for yourselves 1idolsH457, norH3808 shall you setH6965 upH6965 for yourselves 2a carvedH6459 imageH6459 or 3a memorialH4676 stoneH4676, norH3808 shall you placeH5414 a 4figuredH4906 stoneH68 in your landH776 to bowH2331 downH2331 5to it; for I am the LordH3068 your GodH430. 26You shall keepH8104 My SabbathsH7676 and revereH3372 My sanctuaryH4720; I am the LordH3068. 37IfH518 you walkH1980 in My statutesH2708 and keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687 so as to carryH6213 them outH6213, 4then 8I shall giveH5414 you rainsH1653 in their seasonH6256, so that the landH776 will yieldH5414 its produceH2981 and the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 will bearH5414 their fruitH6529. 59Indeed, your threshingH1786 seasonH1786 will lastH5381 for you untilH5381 grapeH1210 gatheringH1210, and grapeH1210 gatheringH1210 will lastH5381 untilH5381 sowingH2233 timeH2233. So you will eatH398 your 10foodH3899 to the fullH7648 and 11liveH3427 securelyH983 in your landH776. 612I shall also grantH5414 peaceH7965 in the landH776, so that 13you may lieH7901 downH7901, with noH369 oneH369 to makeH2729 you afraidH2729. 14I shall also eliminateH7673 harmfulH7451 animalsH2421 from the landH776, and 15noH3808 swordH2719 will passH5674 through your landH776. 7Instead, you will chaseH7291 your enemiesH340, and they will fallH5307 beforeH6440 you by the swordH2719; 816fiveH2568 of you will chaseH7291 a hundredH3967, and a hundredH3967 of you will chaseH7291 tenH7233 thousandH7233; and your enemiesH340 will fallH5307 beforeH6440 you by the swordH2719. 9So I will turnH6437 towardH413 you and 17makeH6509 you fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235 you, and I will 18confirmH6965 My covenantH1285 with you. 10And 19you will eatH398 the oldH3465 supplyH3462, and clearH3318 outH3318 the oldH3465 becauseH4480H6440 of the newH2319. 1120Moreover, I will makeH5414 My 21dwellingH4908 amongH8432 you, and My soulH5315 will not 22rejectH1602 you. 1223I will also walkH1980 amongH8432 you and be your GodH430, and you shall be My peopleH5971. 1324I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, whoH834 broughtH3318 you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 soH4480 thatH4480 you would notH4480 be their slavesH5650, and 25I brokeH7665 your yokeH4133H5923 and made you walkH1980 erectH6968.

Penalties of Disobedience

14‘26But ifH518 you do not obeyH8085 Me and do not carryH6213 outH6213 allH3605 theseH428 commandmentsH4687, 15ifH518, instead, you 27rejectH3988 My statutesH2708, and ifH518 your soulH5315 loathesH1602 My ordinancesH4941 so as not to carryH6213 outH6213 allH3605 My commandmentsH4687, but rather to 28breakH6565 My covenantH1285, 16I, inH637 turnH637, will doH6213 thisH2088 to you: I will 29summonH6485 a 30suddenH928 terrorH928 againstH5921 you, consumptionH7829 and feverH6920 that will makeH3615 the eyesH5869 failH3615 and the 31soulH5315 languishH1727; also, 32you will sowH2232 your seedH2233 uselesslyH7385, for your enemiesH340 will eatH398 it. 17And I will setH5414 My faceH6440 against you so that you will be defeatedH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH340; and 33those who hateH8130 you will ruleH7287 over you, and 34you will fleeH5127 when noH369 oneH369 is pursuingH7291 you. 18IfH518 also afterH5704 theseH428 thingsH428 you do not obeyH8085 Me, then I will punishH3256 you 35sevenH7651 timesH7651 moreH3254 for your sinsH2403. 19I will also 36breakH7665 downH7665 your prideH1347 of powerH5797; and I will makeH5414 your skyH8064 like ironH1270 and your earthH776 like bronzeH5154. 2037Your strengthH3581 will be consumedH8552 uselesslyH7385, for your landH776 will not yieldH5414 its produceH2981 and the treesH6086 of the landH776 will not yieldH5414 their fruitH6529.

21‘Yet ifH518 you 3839showH1980 hostilityH7147 towardH5973 Me and are unwillingH3808H14 to obeyH8085 Me, I will increaseH3254 the plagueH4347 on you 40sevenH7651 timesH7651 according to your sinsH2403. 2241I will also letH7971 looseH7971 among you the animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704, which will depriveH7921 you ofH7921 your childrenH7921 and eliminateH3772 your cattleH929, and reduceH4591 your numberH4591 so that 42your roadsH1870 becomeH8074 desertedH8074.

23‘43And ifH518 by theseH428 thingsH428 you do not learnH3256 your lessonH3256 regarding Me, but you showH1980 hostilityH7147 towardH5973 Me, 24then I inH637 turnH637 will 44showH1980 hostilityH7147 towardH5973 you; and I, evenH1571 I, will strikeH5221 you 45sevenH7651 timesH7651 for your sinsH2403. 25I will also bringH935 upon you a swordH2719 which will executeH5358 46vengeanceH5359 for the covenantH1285; and when you gatherH622 together into your citiesH5892, I will sendH7971 a 47plagueH1698 amongH8432 you, so that you will be handedH3027H5414 overH5414 to the enemyH340. 2648When I breakH7665 your staffH4294 of breadH3899, tenH6235 womenH802 will bakeH644 your breadH3899 in oneH259 ovenH8574, and they will bringH7725 backH7725 your breadH3899 49in rationedH4948 amountsH4948, so that you will 50eatH398 and not beH7646 satisfiedH7646.

27‘Yet ifH518 in spite of thisH2088 you do not obeyH8085 Me, but actH1980 with hostilityH7147 againstH5973 Me, 28then 51I will actH1980 with wrathfulH2534 hostilityH7147 againstH5973 you, and I for My partH637 will punishH3256 you sevenH7651 timesH7651 for your sinsH2403. 29Further, 52you will eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your sonsH1121, and you will eatH398 the fleshH1320 of your daughtersH1323. 30I then 53will destroyH8045 your highH1116 placesH1116, and cutH3772 downH3772 your 54incenseH2553 altarsH2553, and 55pileH5414 your 56remainsH6297 on the 57remainsH6297 of your idolsH1544, for My soulH5315 will loatheH1602 you. 31I will turnH5414 your citiesH5892 into 58ruinsH2723 as well and makeH8074 your 59sanctuariesH4720 desolateH8074, and I will not 60smellH7381 your soothingH5207 aromasH7381. 32And I will makeH8074 61the landH776 desolateH8074 62so that your enemiesH340 who settleH3427 in it will beH8074 appalledH8074 at it. 33You, however, I 63will scatterH2219 among the nationsH1471, and I will drawH7385 outH7385 a swordH2719 afterH310 you, as your landH776 becomesH1961 desolateH8077 and your citiesH5892 becomeH1961 ruinsH2723.

34‘64ThenH227 the landH776 will restoreH7521 its SabbathsH7676 allH3605 the daysH3117 of the desolationH8074, while you are in your enemies’H340 landH776; thenH227 the landH776 will restH7673 and restoreH7521 its SabbathsH7676. 35AllH3605 the daysH3117 of its desolationH8074 it will haveH7673 the restH7673 whichH834 it did not haveH7673 on your SabbathsH7676, while you were livingH3427 on it. 36As for those among you who are leftH7604, I will also bringH935 65despairH4816 into their heartsH3824 in the landsH776 of their enemiesH340. And the soundH6963 of a scatteredH5086 leafH5929 will chaseH7291 them, and even when noH369 one is pursuingH7291 they will fleeH5127 66asH4499 thoughH4499 from the swordH2719, and they will fallH5307. 3767They will then stumbleH3782 over eachH376 otherH251 as if running from the swordH2719, although noH369 oneH369 is pursuingH7291; and you will haveH1961 noH3808 strengthH8617 toH8617 standH8617 beforeH6440 your enemiesH340. 38Instead, 68you will perishH6 among the nationsH1471, and your enemies’H340 landH776 will consumeH398 you. 3969So those of you who may be leftH7604 will rotH4743 awayH4743 because of their wrongdoingH5771 in the landsH776 of your enemiesH340; and alsoH637 because of the wrongdoingH5771 of their forefathersH1 they will rotH4743 awayH4743 with them.

40‘But 70if they confessH3034 their wrongdoingH5771 and the wrongdoingH5771 of their forefathersH1, in their unfaithfulnessH4603 whichH834 they committedH4603 against Me, and alsoH637 in their actingH1980 with hostilityH7147 againstH5973 Me-- 41I alsoH637 was actingH1980 with hostilityH7147 againstH5973 them, to bringH935 them into the landH776 of their enemiesH340--71orH176 ifH227 their uncircumcisedH6189 heartH3824 is humbledH3665 so that 72they thenH227 makeH7521 amendsH7521 for their wrongdoingH5771, 42then I will rememberH2142 73My covenantH1285 with JacobH3290, and I will rememberH2142 alsoH637 74My covenantH1285 with IsaacH3327, and 75My covenantH1285 with AbrahamH85 as wellH637, and I will rememberH2142 the landH776. 4376For the landH776 will be abandonedH5800 by them, and will restoreH7521 its SabbathsH7676 while it is madeH8074 desolateH8074 withoutH4480 them. They, meanwhile, will be makingH7521 amendsH7521 for their wrongdoingH5771, 77becauseH3282 they rejectedH3988 My ordinancesH4941 and their 78soulH5315 loathedH1602 My statutesH2708. 44Yet in spiteH637H1571 of thisH2088, when they are in the landH776 of their enemiesH340, I will not rejectH3988 them, norH3808 will I so 79loatheH1602 them as 80to destroyH3615 them, 81breakingH6565 My covenantH1285 with them; for I am the LordH3068 their GodH430. 45But I will rememberH2142 for them the 82covenantH1285 with their ancestorsH7223, whomH834 I broughtH3318 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471, so that 83I might be their GodH430. I am the LordH3068.’”

4684TheseH428 are the statutesH2706 and ordinancesH4941 and lawsH8451 whichH834 the LordH3068 establishedH5414 betweenH996 Himself and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 85throughH3027 MosesH4872 on MountH2022 SinaiH5514.
