Lev 26:2 You shall keep My sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary; I am the Lord.

Lev 26:3 If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments so as to carry them out,

Lev 26:4 then I shall give you rains in their season, so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.

Lev 26:5 Indeed, your threshing will last for you until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until sowing time. You will thus eat your food to the full and live securely in your land.

Lev 26:6 I shall also grant peace in the land, so that you may lie down with no one making you tremble. I shall also eliminate harmful beasts from the land, and no sword will pass through your land.

Lev 26:7 But you will chase your enemies and they will fall before you by the sword;

Lev 26:8 five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall before you by the sword.

Lev 26:9 So I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will confirm My covenant with you.

Lev 26:10 You will eat the old supply and clear out the old because of the new.

Lev 26:11 Moreover, I will make My dwelling among you, and My soul will not reject you.

Lev 26:12 I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.

Lev 26:13 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would not be their slaves, and I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect.

Lev 26:14 'But if you do not obey Me and do not carry out all these commandments,

Lev 26:15 if, instead, you reject My statutes, and if your soul abhors My ordinances so as not to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant,

Lev 26:16 I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a sudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the soul to pine away; also, you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up.

Lev 26:17 I will set My face against you so that you will be struck down before your enemies; and those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one is pursuing you.

Lev 26:18 If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

Lev 26:19 I will also break down your pride of power; I will also make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze.

Lev 26:20 Your strength will be spent uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.

Lev 26:21 'If then, you act with hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you seven times according to your sins.

Lev 26:22 I will let loose among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and destroy your cattle and reduce your number so that your roads lie deserted.

Lev 26:23 'And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me,

Lev 26:24 then I will act with hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you seven times for your sins.

Lev 26:25 I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you, so that you shall be delivered into enemy hands.

Lev 26:26 When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread in rationed amounts, so that you will eat and not be satisfied.

Lev 26:27 'Yet if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me,

Lev 26:28 then I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins.

Lev 26:29 Further, you will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters you will eat.

Lev 26:30 I then will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and heap your remains on the remains of your idols, for My soul shall abhor you.

Lev 26:31 I will lay waste your cities as well and will make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not smell your soothing aromas.

Lev 26:32 I will make the land desolate so that your enemies who settle in it will be appalled over it.

Lev 26:33 You, however, I will scatter among the nations and will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become waste.

Lev 26:34 'Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, while you are in your enemies' land; then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

Lev 26:35 All the days of its desolation it will observe the rest which it did not observe on your sabbaths, while you were living on it.

Lev 26:36 As for those of you who may be left, I will also bring weakness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf will chase them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee as though from the sword, and they will fall.

Lev 26:37 They will therefore stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength to stand up before your enemies.

Lev 26:38 But you will perish among the nations, and your enemies' land will consume you.

Lev 26:39 So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the iniquities of their forefathers they will rot away with them.

Lev 26:40 'If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also in their acting with hostility against Me"

Lev 26:41 I also was acting with hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their enemies--or if their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled so that they then make amends for their iniquity,

Lev 26:42 then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and I will remember also My covenant with Isaac, and My covenant with Abraham as well, and I will remember the land.

Lev 26:43 For the land will be abandoned by them, and will make up for its sabbaths while it is made desolate without them. They, meanwhile, will be making amends for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and their soul abhorred My statutes.

Lev 26:44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so abhor them as to destroy them, breaking My covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God.

Lev 26:45 But I will remember for them the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the Lord.'"

Lev 26:46 These are the statutes and ordinances and laws which the Lord established between Himself and the sons of Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai.

Lev 27:1 Again, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Lev 27:2 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When a man makes a difficult vow, he shall be valued according to your valuation of persons belonging to the Lord.

Lev 27:3 If your valuation is of the male from twenty years even to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

Lev 27:4 Or if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.

Lev 27:5 If it be from five years even to twenty years old then your valuation for the male shall be twenty shekels and for the female ten shekels.

Lev 27:6 But if they are from a month even up to five years old, then your valuation shall be five shekels of silver for the male, and for the female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

Lev 27:7 If they are from sixty years old and upward, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

Lev 27:8 But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be placed before the priest and the priest shall value him; according to the means of the one who vowed, the priest shall value him.

Lev 27:9 'Now if it is an animal of the kind which men can present as an offering to the Lord, any such that one gives to the Lord shall be holy.

Lev 27:10 He shall not replace it or exchange it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; or if he does exchange animal for animal, then both it and its substitute shall become holy.

Lev 27:11 If, however, it is any unclean animal of the kind which men do not present as an offering to the Lord, then he shall place the animal before the priest.

Lev 27:12 The priest shall value it as either good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.

Lev 27:13 But if he should ever wish to redeem it, then he shall add one-fifth of it to your valuation.

Lev 27:14 'Now if a man consecrates his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest shall value it as either good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.

Lev 27:15 Yet if the one who consecrates it should wish to redeem his house, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may be his.

Lev 27:16 'Again, if a man consecrates to the Lord part of the fields of his own property, then your valuation shall be proportionate to the seed needed for it: a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.

Lev 27:17 If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

Lev 27:18 If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for him proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

Lev 27:19 If the one who consecrates it should ever wish to redeem the field, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may pass to him.

Lev 27:20 Yet if he will not redeem the field, but has sold the field to another man, it may no longer be redeemed;

Lev 27:21 and when it reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord, like a field set apart; it shall be for the priest as his property.

Lev 27:22 Or if he consecrates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own property,

Lev 27:23 then the priest shall calculate for him the amount of your valuation up to the year of jubilee; and he shall on that day give your valuation as holy to the Lord.

Lev 27:24 In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs.

Lev 27:25 Every valuation of yours, moreover, shall be after the shekel of the sanctuary. The shekel shall be twenty gerahs.

Lev 27:26 'However, a firstborn among animals, which as a firstborn belongs to the Lord, no man may consecrate it; whether ox or sheep, it is the Lord's.

Lev 27:27 But if it is among the unclean animals, then he shall redeem it according to your valuation and add to it one-fifth of it; and if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

Lev 27:28 'Nevertheless, anything which a man sets apart to the Lord out of all that he has, of man or animal or of the fields of his own property, shall not be sold or redeemed. Anything devoted to destruction is most holy to the Lord.

Lev 27:29 No one who may have been set apart among men shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.

Lev 27:30 'Thus all the tithe of the land, of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord.

Lev 27:31 If, therefore, a man wishes to redeem part of his tithe, he shall add to it one-fifth of it.

Lev 27:32 For every tenth part of herd or flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord.

Lev 27:33 He is not to be concerned whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; or if he does exchange it, then both it and its substitute shall become holy. It shall not be redeemed.'"

Lev 27:34 These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel at Mount Sinai.
