26Verse 1Ye shall not make for you elilim or pesel or set up matzevah, neither shall ye set up even maskit (carved stone) in your land, lehishtachavot (to bow down) unto it: for I am Hashem Eloheichem.Verse 2Ye shall be shomer over My Shabbatot, and reverence My Mikdash: I am Hashem.
[BECHUKOTAI]
Verse 3If ye walk in My chukkot, and be shomer over My mitzvot, and do them;Verse 4Then I will give you geshem in due season, and HaAretz shall yield her increase, and the etz hasadeh shall yield his pri.Verse 5And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your lechem to the full, and dwell in your land safely.Verse 6And I will give shalom in HaAretz, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid the savage beast out of HaAretz, neither shall the cherev pass through your land.Verse 7And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the cherev.Verse 8And 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 by the cherev.Verse 9For I will look upon you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and confirm My Brit (Covenant) with you.Verse 10And ye shall be eating the old harvest when you move out the yashan because of the chadash.Verse 11And I set My Mishkan among you: and My Nefesh shall not abhor you.Verse 12And I will walk among you, and will be Elohim to you, and ye shall be My people.Verse 13I am Hashem Eloheichem, which brought you forth out of Eretz Mitzrayim, that ye should not be their avadim; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you walk head held high.Verse 14But if ye will not pay heed unto Me, and will not do all these mitzvot,Verse 15And if ye shall despise My chukkot, or if your nefesh abhor My mishpatim, so that ye will not do all My mitzvot, but that ye violate My Brit (Covenant),Verse 16I also will do this unto you: I will even visit upon you terror, wasting disease, and the burning fever, that shall consume the eyes, and drain the nefesh: and ye shall sow your zera in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.Verse 17And I will set My Face against you, and ye shall be struck down before your enemies. They that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none rodef (pursue, persecute) you.Verse 18And if ye will not yet for all this pay heed unto Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your chattot.Verse 19And I will break the ga'on (pride) of your stubbornness; and I will make your skies as barzel, and your soil as bronze;Verse 20And your ko'ach shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the etz HaAretz yield their pri.Verse 21And if ye remain walking contrary unto Me, and will not pay heed unto Me, I will bring seven times more makkah (plagues) upon you according to your chattot (sins).Verse 22I 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 darkheichem (your roads, ways) shall be deserted.Verse 23And if ye will not be corrected by Me, but will walk keri (contrary, hostile) unto Me,Verse 24Then will I also walk b'keri (contrary, hostile) unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your chattot.Verse 25And I will bring a cherev upon you, that shall avenge Nekam Brit (Vengeance of My Covenant); and when ye are gathered together within your towns, I will send the dever (pestilence) among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.Verse 26And when I have broken the matteh (staff, supply) of your lechem, eser nashim shall bake your lechem in one oven, and they shall dole out your lechem by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.Verse 27And if ye will not for all this pay heed unto Me, but walk b'keri (contrary, hostile) unto Me,Verse 28Then I will walk keri unto you also in chamat (fury); and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your chattot.Verse 29And ye shall eat the basar of your banim, and the basar of your banot shall ye eat.Verse 30And I will destroy your high places, and cut down chammaneichem (your pillars for worshiping the sun), and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and My Nefesh shall abhor you.Verse 31And I will turn your cities into ruins, and bring mikdesheichem (your sanctuaries) unto desolation, and I will not take delight in your re'ach nicho'ach.Verse 32And I will bring HaAretz into desolation; and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at her.Verse 33And I will scatter you among the Goyim, and will draw out a cherev after you; and your land shall be desolate, and your cities ruin.Verse 34Then shall HaAretz enjoy her Shabbatot, as long as she lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemiesʼ land; even then shall HaAretz rest, and enjoy her Shabbatot.Verse 35As long as she lieth desolate she shall rest, because she did not rest in your Shabbatot, when ye dwelt upon her.Verse 36And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a fearful 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 cherev; and they shall fall v'ein rodef (when none pursueth, persecutes).Verse 37And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a cherev, when none pursueth; and ye shall have no standing place before your enemies.Verse 38And ye shall perish among the Goyim, and the eretz of your enemies shall eat you up.Verse 39And they that are left of you shall waste away in their avon in your enemiesʼ lands; and also in the iniquities of their avot shall they waste away with them.Verse 40V'hitvadu (if they shall confess) their avon, and the avon of their avot, with their treachery in which they were treacherous against Me, and that also they have walked b'keri (contrary, hostile) unto Me;Verse 41And that I also have walked b'keri unto them, and have brought them into the eretz of their enemies; if then their levav he'arel (uncircumcised hearts) be humbled, and they then accept their avon guilt,+Verse 42Then will I remember My Brit (covenant) with Ya'akov, and also My Brit (covenant) with Yitzchak, and also My Brit (covenant) with Avraham will I remember; and I will remember HaAretz.Verse 43HaAretz also shall be deserted by them, and shall enjoy her Shabbatot, while she lieth desolate without them; and they shall accept their avon:+because, even because they despised My mishpatim, and because their nefesh abhorred My chukkot.Verse 44And yet for all that, when they be in the eretz of their enemies, I will not cast them away,+neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My Brit (covenant) with them: for I am Hashem Eloheichem.Verse 45But I will for their sakes remember the Brit Rishonim (covenant of their ancestors) whom I brought forth out of Eretz Mitzrayim in the sight of the Goyim, that I might be Elohim to them: I am Hashem.Verse 46These are the chukkim and mishpatim and torot, which Hashem made between Him and the Bnei Yisroel in Mt. Sinai by the hand of Moshe.
