Leviticus 26

Revised Geneva Translation

26 ‘You shall make no idols or graven images. Nor shall you rear up any pillar. Nor shall you set any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it. For I am the LORD your God.

² ‘You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My Sanctuary. I am the LORD.

³ ‘If you walk in My Ordinances and keep My Commandments, and do them,

⁴ ‘I will then send you rain in due season. And the land shall yield her increase. And the trees of the field shall give their fruit.

⁵ ‘And your threshing shall reach until the vintage. And the vintage shall reach until sowing time. And you shall eat your bread in abundance, and dwell in your land safely.

⁶ ‘And I will send peace in the land. And you shall sleep. And no one shall make you afraid. Also, I will rid the land of evil beasts. And the sword shall not go through your land.

⁷ ‘Also you shall chase your enemies and they shall fall before you upon the sword.

⁸ ‘And five of you shall chase a hundred. And a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight. And your enemies shall fall before you upon the sword.

⁹ ‘For I will have respect to you and make you increase and multiply you and establish My Covenant with you.

¹⁰ ‘You shall also eat old stores and clear out the old because of the new.

¹¹ ‘And I will set My Tabernacle among you. And My Soul shall not loathe you.

¹² ‘Also, I will walk among you. And I will be your God. And you shall be My people.

¹³ ‘I am the LORD your God, Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would not be their bondmen. And I have broken the bonds of your yoke and made you go upright.

¹⁴ ‘But if you will not obey Me, or do all these Commandments;

¹⁵ ‘and if you shall despise My Ordinances, or if your soul abhors My Laws (so that you will not do all My Commandments, but break My Covenant),

¹⁶ ‘then will I also do this to you: I will appoint fearfulness over you, a consumption and fever to consume the eyes and make the heart heavy. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

¹⁷ ‘And I will set My Face against you. And you shall fall before your enemies. And those who hate you shall reign over you. And you shall flee when no one pursues you.

¹⁸ ‘And if, after this, you will not obey Me, then will I punish you seven times more, according to your sins.

¹⁹ ‘And I will break the pride of your power. And I will make your Heaven as iron, and your Earth as brass.

²⁰ ‘And your strength shall be spent in vain. Nor shall your land give her increase. Nor shall the trees of the land give their fruit.

²¹ ‘And if you walk stubbornly against Me, and will not obey Me, I will then bring seven times more plagues upon you, according to your sins.

²² ‘I will also send wild beasts upon you, which shall rob you, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number. So your highways shall be desolate.

²³ ‘Yet, if by these you will not be reformed by Me, but walk stubbornly against Me,

²⁴ ‘then I will also walk stubbornly against you. And I will strike you yet seven times for your sins.

²⁵ ‘And I will send a sword upon you that shall avenge the quarrel of My Covenant. And when you are gathered in your cities, I will send the pestilence among you. And you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

²⁶ ‘When I shall break the supply of your bread, then ten women shall bake your bread in one oven. And they shall deliver your bread again by weight. And you shall eat, but not be satisfied.

²⁷ ‘Yet, after this, if you will not obey Me, but walk against Me stubbornly,

²⁸ ‘then will I walk stubbornly in anger against you. And I will also chastise you seven times, according to your sins.

²⁹ ‘And you shall eat the flesh of your sons. And the flesh of your daughters shall you devour.

³⁰ ‘I will also destroy your high places and cut away your images and cast your carcasses upon the bodies of your idols. And My Soul shall abhor you.

³¹ ‘And I will make your cities desolate and bring your Sanctuary to nothing. And I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.

³² ‘I will also bring the land to a wilderness. And your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

³³ ‘Also, I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you. And your land shall be waste. And your cities shall be desolate.

³⁴ ‘Then shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate. And you shall be in your enemies’ land. Then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabbaths.

³⁵ ‘All the days that it lies desolate, it shall rest, because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when you dwelt on it.

³⁶ ‘And upon those who are left, I will send a weakness into their hearts in the land of your enemies. And the sound of a leaf shaken shall chase them. And they shall flee as fleeing from a sword. And they shall fall, no man pursuing them.

³⁷ ‘They shall also fall one upon another, as before a sword, though no one pursues them. And you shall not be able to stand before your enemies.

³⁸ ‘And you shall perish among the heathen. And the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

³⁹ ‘And those who are left shall rot in their iniquity, in your enemies’ lands. And in the iniquities of their fathers shall they rot also.

⁴⁰ ‘Then they shall confess their iniquity, and the wickedness of their fathers, for their trespass which they have trespassed against Me; and also because they have walked stubbornly against Me.

⁴¹ ‘Therefore, I will walk stubbornly against them, and bring them into the land of their enemies. So, then, their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled. And they shall willingly bear their iniquity.

⁴² ‘Then I will remember My Covenant with Jacob, and also My Covenant with Isaac. And I will also remember My Covenant with Abraham; and will remember the land.

⁴³ ‘The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. But they shall willingly suffer their iniquity, because they despised My Laws, because their soul abhorred My Ordinances.

⁴⁴ ‘Yet, notwithstanding this, when they shall be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away. Nor will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, to break My Covenant with them. For I am the LORD their God.

⁴⁵ ‘But I will remember the Covenant of old for them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the heathen, so that I might be their God. I am the LORD.’”

⁴⁶ These are the Ordinances and the Judgments and the Laws which the LORD made between Him and the children of Israel, on Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
