26:1 I [am] Yehovah your Elohim: ye shall not
make to yourselves gods made with hands, or graven; neither shall ye rear up
a pillar for yourselves, neither shall ye set up a stone [for] an object in
your land to worship it: I am Yehovah your Elohim.
26:2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am Yehovah.
26:3 If ye will walk in my ordinances, and keep my commandments, and do
them,
26:4 then will I give you the rain in its season, and the land shall produce
its fruits, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
26:5 And your threshing time shall overtake the vintage, and your vintage
shall overtake your seed time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full; and
ye shall dwell safely upon your land, and war shall not go through your
land.
26:6 And I will give peace in your land, and ye shall sleep, and none
[shall] make you afraid; and I will destroy the evil beasts out of your
land,
26:7 and ye shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you with
slaughter.
26:8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase
tens of thousands; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
26:9 And I will look upon you, and increase you, and multiply you, and
establish my covenant with you.
26:10 And ye shall eat that which is old and very old, and bring forth the
old to make way for the new.
26:11 And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not abhor
you;
26:12 and I will walk among you, and be your Elohim, and ye shall be my people.
26:13 I am Yehovah your Elohim, who brought you out o the land of Egypt, where
ye were slaves; and I broke the band of your yoke, and brought you forth
openly.
26:14 But if ye will not hearken to me, nor obey these my ordinances,
26:15 but disobey them, and your soul should loathe my judgments, so that ye
should not keep all my commands, so as to break my covenant,
26:16 then will I do thus to you: I will even bring upon you perplexity and
the itch, and the fever that causes your eyes to waste away, and [disease]
that consumes your life; and ye shall sow your seeds in vain, and your
enemies shall eat them.
26:17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall fall before your
enemies, and they that hate you shall pursue you; and ye shall flee, no one
pursuing you.
26:18 And if ye still refuse to hearken to me, then will I chasten you yet
more even seven times for your sins.
26:19 And I will break down the haughtiness of your pride; and I will make
your heaven iron, and your earth as it were brass.
26:20 And your strength shall be in vain; and your land shall not yield its
seed, and the tree of your field shall not yield its fruit.
26:21 And if after this ye should walk perversely, and not be willing to
obey me, I will further bring upon you seven plagues according to your sins.
26:22 And I will send upon you the wild beasts of the land, and they shall
devour you, and shall consume your cattle: and I will make you few in
number, and your ways shall be desolate.
26:23 And if hereupon ye are not corrected, but walk perversely towards me,
26:24 I also will walk with you with a perverse spirit, and I also will
smite you seven times for your sins.
26:25 And I will bring upon you a sword avenging the cause of [my] covenant,
and ye shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I will send out death
against you, and ye shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies.
26:26 When I afflict you with famine of bread, then ten women shall bake
your loaves in one oven, and they shall render your loaves by weight; and ye
shall eat, and not be satisfied.
26:27 And if hereupon ye ill not obey me, but walk perversely towards me,
26:28 then will I walk with you with a froward mind, and I will chasten you
seven-fold according to your sins.
26:29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your
daughters shall ye eat.
26:30 And I will render your pillars desolate, and will utterly destroy your
wooden [images] made with hands; and I will lay your carcases on the
carcases of your idols, and my soul shall loathe you.
26:31 And I will lay your cities waste, and I will make your sanctuaries
desolate, and I will not smell the savour of your sacrifices.
26:32 And I will lay your land desolate, and your enemies who dwell in it
shall wonder at it.
26:33 And I will scatter you among the nations, and the sword shall come
upon you and consume you; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities
shall be desolate.
26:34 Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its desolation.
26:35 And ye shall be in the land of your enemies; then the land shall keep
its sabbaths, and the land shall enjoy its sabbaths all the days of its
desolation: it shall keep sabbaths which it kept not among your sabbaths,
when ye dwelt in it.
26:36 And to those who are left of you I will bring bondage into their heart
in the land of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase
them, and they shall flee as fleeing from war, and shall fall when none
pursues them.
26:37 And brother shall disregard brother as in war, when none pursues; and
ye shall not be able to withstand your enemies.
26:38 And ye shall perish among the Gentiles, and the land of your enemies
shall devour you.
26:39 And those who are left of you shall perish, because of their sins, and
because of the sins of their fathers: in the land of their enemies shall
they consume away.
26:40 And they shall confess their sins, and the sins of their fathers, that
they have transgressed and neglected me, and that they have walked
perversely before me,
26:41 and I walked with them with a perverse mind; and I will destroy them
in the land of heir enemies: then shall their uncircumcised heart be
ashamed, and then shall they acquiesce in [the punishment of] their sins.
26:42 And I will remember the covenant of Jacob, and the covenant of Isaac,
and the covenant of Abraam will I remember.
26:43 And I will remember the land, and the land shall be left of them; then
the land shall enjoy her sabbaths, when it is deserted through them: and
they shall accept [the punishment of] their iniquities, because they
neglected my judgments, and in their soul loathed my ordinances.
26:44 And yet not even thus, while they were in the land of their enemies,
did I overlook them, nor did I loathe them so as to consume them, to break
my covenant made with them; for I am Yehovah their Elohim.
26:45 And I will remember their former covenant, when I brought them out of
the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage before the nation, to be
their Elohim; I am Yehovah.
26:46 These are my judgments and my ordinances, and the law which Yehovah
gave between himself and the children of Israel, in the mount Sina, by the
hand of Moses. |
26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven
image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any
image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am Yehovah your
Elohim.
26:2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Yehovah.
26:3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her
increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
26:5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall
reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and
dwell in your land safely.
26:6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none
shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither
shall the sword go through your land.
26:7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the
sword.
26:8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put
ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
26:9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply
you, and establish my covenant with you.
26:10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the
new.
26:11 And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
26:12 And I will walk among you, and will be your Elohim, and ye shall be my
people.
26:13 I am Yehovah your Elohim, which brought you forth out of the land of
Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of
your yoke, and made you go upright.
26:14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these
commandments;
26:15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my
judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my
covenant:
26:16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror,
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause
sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall
eat it.
26:17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your
enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when
none pursueth you.
26:18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will
punish you seven times more for your sins.
26:19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven
as iron, and your earth as brass:
26:20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not
yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
26:21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will
bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
26:22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your
children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high
ways shall be desolate.
26:23 And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk
contrary unto me;
26:24 Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven
times for your sins.
26:25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my
covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send
the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the
enemy.
26:26 And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake
your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by
weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
26:27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary
unto me;
26:28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will
chastise you seven times for your sins.
26:29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your
daughters shall ye eat.
26:30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and
cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall
abhor you.
26:31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto
desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.
26:32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which
dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
26:33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword
after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
26:34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate,
and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy
her sabbaths.
26:35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in
your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
26:36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into
their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf
shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they
shall fall when none pursueth.
26:37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when
none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
26:38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies
shall eat you up.
26:39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in
your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they
pine away with them.
26:40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their
fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also
they have walked contrary unto me;
26:41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them
into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be
humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
26:42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with
Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will
remember the land.
26:43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths,
while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the
punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my
judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
26:44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I
will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly,
and to break my covenant with them: for I am Yehovah their Elohim.
26:45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors,
whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen,
that I might be their Elohim: I am Yehovah.
26:46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which Yehovah made
between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses. |
