Leviticus 26 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Blessings of Obedience

1 ‘You shall not make ^H6213 for yourselves idols ^H457, nor ^H3808 shall you set ^H6965 up ^H6965 for yourselves a carved ^H6459 image ^H6459 or a memorial ^H4676 stone ^H4676, nor ^H3808 shall you place ^H5414 a figured ^H4906 stone ^H68 in your land ^H776 to bow ^H2331 down ^H2331 [fn]to it; for I am the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430.

2 You shall keep ^H8104 My Sabbaths ^H7676 and revere ^H3372 My sanctuary ^H4720; I am the LORD ^H3068. 3 If ^H518 you walk ^H1980 in My statutes ^H2708 and keep ^H8104 My commandments ^H4687 so as to carry ^H6213 them out ^H6213, 4 then I shall give ^H5414 you rains ^H1653 in their season ^H6256, so that the land ^H776 will yield ^H5414 its produce ^H2981 and the trees ^H6086 of the field ^H7704 will bear ^H5414 their fruit ^H6529. 5 Indeed, your threshing ^H1786 season ^H1786 will last ^H5381 for you until ^H5381 grape ^H1210 gathering ^H1210, and grape ^H1210 gathering ^H1210 will last ^H5381 until ^H5381 sowing ^H2233 time ^H2233. So you will eat ^H398 your [fn]food ^H3899 to the full ^H7648 and live ^H3427 securely ^H983 in your land ^H776. 6 I shall also grant ^H5414 peace ^H7965 in the land ^H776, so that you may lie ^H7901 down ^H7901, with no ^H369 one ^H369 to make ^H2729 you afraid ^H2729. I shall also eliminate ^H7673 harmful ^H7451 animals ^H2416 from the land ^H776, and no ^H3808 sword ^H2719 will pass ^H5674 through your land ^H776. 7 Instead, you will chase ^H7291 your enemies ^H340, and they will fall ^H5307 before ^H6440 you by the sword ^H2719; 8 five ^H2568 of you will chase ^H7291 a hundred ^H3967, and a hundred ^H3967 of you will chase ^H7291 ten ^H7233 thousand ^H7233; and your enemies ^H340 will fall ^H5307 before ^H6440 you by the sword ^H2719. 9 So I will turn ^H6437 toward ^H413 you and make ^H6509 you fruitful ^H6509 and multiply ^H7235 you, and I will confirm ^H6965 My covenant ^H1285 with you. 10 And you will eat ^H398 the old ^H3465 supply ^H3462, and clear ^H3318 out ^H3318 the old ^H3465 because ^H4480 H6440 of the new ^H2319. 11 Moreover, I will make ^H5414 My [fn]dwelling ^H4908 among ^H8432 you, and My soul ^H5315 will not [fn]reject ^H1602 you. 12 I will also walk ^H1980 among ^H8432 you and be your God ^H430, and you shall be My people ^H5971. 13 I am the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430, who ^H834 brought ^H3318 you out ^H3318 of the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 so ^H4480 that ^H4480 you would not ^H4480 be their slaves ^H5650, and I broke ^H7665 your yoke ^H4133 H5923 and made you walk ^H1980 erect ^H6968.

Penalties of Disobedience

14 ‘But if ^H518 you do not obey ^H8085 Me and do not carry ^H6213 out ^H6213 all ^H3605 these ^H428 commandments ^H4687,

15 if ^H518, instead, you reject ^H3988 My statutes ^H2708, and if ^H518 your soul ^H5315 loathes ^H1602 My ordinances ^H4941 so as not to carry ^H6213 out ^H6213 all ^H3605 My commandments ^H4687, but rather to break ^H6565 My covenant ^H1285, 16 I, in ^H637 turn ^H637, will do ^H6213 this ^H2088 to you: I will [fn]summon ^H6485 a sudden ^H928 terror ^H928 against ^H5921 you, consumption ^H7829 and fever ^H6920 that will make ^H3615 the eyes ^H5869 fail ^H3615 and the soul ^H5315 languish ^H1727; also, you will sow ^H2232 your seed ^H2233 uselessly ^H7385, for your enemies ^H340 will eat ^H398 it. 17 And I will set ^H5414 My face ^H6440 against you so that you will be defeated ^H5062 before ^H6440 your enemies ^H340; and those who hate ^H8130 you will rule ^H7287 over you, and you will flee ^H5127 when no ^H369 one ^H369 is pursuing ^H7291 you. 18 If ^H518 also after ^H5704 these ^H428 things ^H428 you do not obey ^H8085 Me, then I will punish ^H3256 you seven ^H7651 times ^H7651 more ^H3254 for your sins ^H2403. 19 I will also break ^H7665 down ^H7665 your pride ^H1347 of power ^H5797; and I will make ^H5414 your sky ^H8064 like iron ^H1270 and your earth ^H776 like bronze ^H5154. 20 Your strength ^H3581 will be consumed ^H8552 uselessly ^H7385, for your land ^H776 will not yield ^H5414 its produce ^H2981 and the trees ^H6086 of the land ^H776 will not yield ^H5414 their fruit ^H6529.

21 ‘Yet if ^H518 you [fn]show ^H1980 hostility ^H7147 toward ^H5973 Me and are unwilling ^H3808 H14 to obey ^H8085 Me, I will increase ^H3254 the plague ^H4347 on you seven ^H7651 times ^H7651 according to your sins ^H2403. 22 I will also let ^H7971 loose ^H7971 among you the animals ^H2416 of the field ^H7704, which will deprive ^H7921 you of ^H7921 your children ^H7921 and eliminate ^H3772 your cattle ^H929, and reduce ^H4591 your number ^H4591 so that your roads ^H1870 become ^H8074 deserted ^H8074.

23 ‘And if ^H518 by these ^H428 things ^H428 you do not learn ^H3256 your lesson ^H3256 regarding Me, but you show ^H1980 hostility ^H7147 toward ^H5973 Me, 24 then I in ^H637 turn ^H637 will show ^H1980 hostility ^H7147 toward ^H5973 you; and I, even ^H1571 I, will strike ^H5221 you seven ^H7651 times ^H7651 for your sins ^H2403. 25 I will also bring ^H935 upon you a sword ^H2719 which will execute ^H5358 vengeance ^H5359 for the covenant ^H1285; and when you gather ^H622 together into your cities ^H5892, I will send ^H7971 a plague ^H1698 among ^H8432 you, so that you will be handed ^H3027 H5414 over ^H5414 to the enemy ^H340. 26 When I break ^H7665 your staff ^H4294 of bread ^H3899, ten ^H6235 women ^H802 will bake ^H644 your bread ^H3899 in one ^H259 oven ^H8574, and they will bring ^H7725 back ^H7725 your bread ^H3899 [fn]in rationed ^H4948 amounts ^H4948, so that you will eat ^H398 and not be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646.

27 ‘Yet if ^H518 in spite of this ^H2088 you do not obey ^H8085 Me, but act ^H1980 with hostility ^H7147 against ^H5973 Me, 28 then I will act ^H1980 with wrathful ^H2534 hostility ^H7147 against ^H5973 you, and I for My part ^H637 will punish ^H3256 you seven ^H7651 times ^H7651 for your sins ^H2403. 29 Further, you will eat ^H398 the flesh ^H1320 of your sons ^H1121, and you will eat ^H398 the flesh ^H1320 of your daughters ^H1323. 30 I then will destroy ^H8045 your high ^H1116 places ^H1116, and cut ^H3772 down ^H3772 your incense ^H2553 altars ^H2553, and [fn]pile ^H5414 your [fn]remains ^H6297 on the [fn]remains ^H6297 of your idols ^H1544, for My soul ^H5315 will loathe ^H1602 you. 31 I will turn ^H5414 your cities ^H5892 into ruins ^H2723 as well and make ^H8074 your sanctuaries ^H4720 desolate ^H8074, and I will not smell ^H7306 your soothing ^H5207 aromas ^H7381. 32 And I will make ^H8074 the land ^H776 desolate ^H8074 so that your enemies ^H340 who settle ^H3427 in it will be ^H8074 appalled ^H8074 at it. 33 You, however, I will scatter ^H2219 among the nations ^H1471, and I will draw ^H7324 out ^H7324 a sword ^H2719 after ^H310 you, as your land ^H776 becomes ^H1961 desolate ^H8077 and your cities ^H5892 become ^H1961 ruins ^H2723.

34 ‘Then ^H227 the land ^H776 will restore ^H7521 its Sabbaths ^H7676 all ^H3605 the days ^H3117 of the desolation ^H8074, while you are in your enemies’ ^H340 land ^H776; then ^H227 the land ^H776 will rest ^H7673 and restore ^H7521 its Sabbaths ^H7676. 35 All ^H3605 the days ^H3117 of its desolation ^H8074 it will have ^H7673 the rest ^H7673 which ^H834 it did not have ^H7673 on your Sabbaths ^H7676, while you were living ^H3427 on it. 36 As for those among you who are left ^H7604, I will also bring ^H935 despair ^H4816 into their hearts ^H3824 in the lands ^H776 of their enemies ^H340. And the sound ^H6963 of a scattered ^H5086 leaf ^H5929 will chase ^H7291 them, and even when no ^H369 one is pursuing ^H7291 they will flee ^H5127 [fn]as ^H4499 though ^H4499 from the sword ^H2719, and they will fall ^H5307. 37 They will then stumble ^H3782 over each ^H376 other ^H251 as if running from the sword ^H2719, although no ^H369 one ^H369 is pursuing ^H7291; and you will have ^H1961 no ^H3808 strength ^H8617 to ^H8617 stand ^H8617 before ^H6440 your enemies ^H340. 38 Instead, you will perish ^H6 among the nations ^H1471, and your enemies’ ^H340 land ^H776 will consume ^H398 you. 39 So those of you who may be left ^H7604 will rot ^H4743 away ^H4743 because of their wrongdoing ^H5771 in the lands ^H776 of your enemies ^H340; and also ^H637 because of the wrongdoing ^H5771 of their forefathers ^H1 they will rot ^H4743 away ^H4743 with them.

40 ‘But if they confess ^H3034 their wrongdoing ^H5771 and the wrongdoing ^H5771 of their forefathers ^H1, in their unfaithfulness ^H4603 which ^H834 they committed ^H4603 against Me, and also ^H637 in their acting ^H1980 with hostility ^H7147 against ^H5973 Me— 41 I also ^H637 was acting ^H1980 with hostility ^H7147 against ^H5973 them, to bring ^H935 them into the land ^H776 of their enemies ^H340—or ^H176 if ^H227 their uncircumcised ^H6189 heart ^H3824 is humbled ^H3665 so that they then ^H227 make ^H7521 amends ^H7521 for their wrongdoing ^H5771, 42 then I will remember ^H2142 My covenant ^H1285 with Jacob ^H3290, and I will remember ^H2142 also ^H637 My covenant ^H1285 with Isaac ^H3327, and My covenant ^H1285 with Abraham ^H85 as well ^H637, and I will remember ^H2142 the land ^H776. 43 For the land ^H776 will be abandoned ^H5800 by them, and will restore ^H7521 its Sabbaths ^H7676 while it is made ^H8074 desolate ^H8074 without ^H4480 them. They, meanwhile, will be making ^H7521 amends ^H7521 for their wrongdoing ^H5771, [fn]because ^H3282 they rejected ^H3988 My ordinances ^H4941 and their soul ^H5315 loathed ^H1602 My statutes ^H2708. 44 Yet in spite ^H637 H1571 of this ^H2088, when they are in the land ^H776 of their enemies ^H340, I will not reject ^H3988 them, nor ^H3808 will I so loathe ^H1602 them as to destroy ^H3615 them, breaking ^H6565 My covenant ^H1285 with them; for I am the LORD ^H3068 their God ^H430. 45 But I will remember ^H2142 for them the covenant ^H1285 with their ancestors ^H7223, whom ^H834 I brought ^H3318 out ^H3318 of the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714 in the sight ^H5869 of the nations ^H1471, so that I might be their God ^H430. I am the LORD ^H3068.’”

46 These ^H428 are the statutes ^H2706 and ordinances ^H4941 and laws ^H8451 which ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 established ^H5414 between ^H996 Himself and the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 [fn]through ^H3027 Moses ^H4872 on Mount ^H2022 Sinai ^H5514.
