> 26:3
If ye walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them;
26:4 then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall
yield her produce, 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
until ye have enough, 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 cause evil beasts to cease 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 a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase
ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
26:9 And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and
multiply you; and will establish My covenant with you. 26:10 And ye
shall eat old store long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old from
before 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 will
be your God, and ye shall be My people. 26:13 I am the LORD your God,
who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be
their bondmen; and I have broken the bars 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 reject My
statutes, and if your soul abhor Mine ordinances, so that ye will not
do all My commandments, but break My covenant; 26:16 I also will do
this unto you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and
fever, that shall make the eyes to fail, and the soul to languish;
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 smitten
before your enemies; they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye
shall flee when none pursueth you. 26:18 And if ye will not yet for
these things hearken unto Me, then I will chastise 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 produce, neither shall the trees of the land yield their
fruit. 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 And I will send the beast of the field among you,
which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and
make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate. 26:23
And if in spite of these things ye will not be corrected unto Me, but
will walk contrary unto Me; 26:24 then will I also walk contrary unto
you; and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins. 26:25
And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance
of the covenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your
cities; and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be
delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26:26 When I break your staff
of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall
deliver 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 in fury; and I also 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 sun-pillars, and cast your carcasses upon
the carcasses of your idols; and My soul shall abhor you. 26:31 And I
will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries unto
desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
26:32 And I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies
that dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 26:33 And you will I
scatter among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you;
and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a
waste. 26:34 Then shall the land be paid her sabbaths, as long as it
lieth desolate, and ye are in your enemies' land; even then shall the
land rest, and repay her sabbaths. 26:35 As long as it lieth desolate
it shall have rest; even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths,
when ye dwelt upon it. 26:36 And as for them that are left of you, I
will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies;
and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee,
as one fleeth from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
26:37 And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the
sword, when none pursueth; and ye shall have no power to stand before
your enemies. 26:38 And ye shall perish among the nations, 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 And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity
of their fathers, in their treachery which they committed against Me,
and also that they have walked contrary unto Me. 26:41 I also will
walk contrary unto them, and bring them into the land of their
enemies; if then perchance their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and
they then be paid 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 For the land shall lie forsaken without them, and
shall be paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them;
and they shall be paid the punishment of their iniquity; because,
even because they rejected Mine ordinances, and their soul abhorred
My statutes. 26:44 And yet for all that, when they are in the land of
their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to
destroy them utterly, and to break My covenant with them; for I am
the LORD their God. 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 nations, that I might be their God: I am
the LORD.
> 26:46 These are the statutes and ordinances and
laws, which the LORD made between Him and the children of Israel in
mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
> 27:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 27:2 Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them: When a man shall clearly utter a vow of
persons unto the LORD, according to thy valuation, 27:3 then thy
valuation shall be for the male from twenty years old even unto sixty
years old, even thy valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after
the shekel of the sanctuary. 27:4 And if it be a female, then thy
valuation shall be thirty shekels. 27:5 And if it be from five years
old even unto twenty years old, then thy valuation shall be for the
male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 27:6 And if it
be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy valuation
shall be for the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy
valuation shall be three shekels of silver. 27:7 And if it be from
sixty years old and upward: if it be a male, then thy valuation shall
be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 27:8 But if he be
too poor for thy valuation, then he shall be set before the priest,
and the priest shall value him; according to the means of him that
vowed shall the priest value him.
> 27:9 And if it be a beast,
whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth
of such unto the LORD shall be holy. 27:10 He shall not alter it, nor
change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if he shall at
all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is
changed shall be holy. 27:11 And if it be any unclean beast, of which
they may not bring an offering unto the LORD, then he shall set the
beast before the priest. 27:12 And the priest shall value it, whether
it be good or bad; as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be.
27:13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth
part thereof unto thy valuation.
> 27:14 And when a man shall
sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall
value it, whether it be good or bad; as the priest shall value it, so
shall it stand. 27:15 And if he that sanctified it will redeem his
house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation
unto it, and it shall be his.
> 27:16 And if a man shall
sanctify unto the LORD part of the field of his possession, then thy
valuation shall be according to the sowing thereof; the sowing of a
homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 27:17 If
he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy
valuation it shall stand. 27:18 But if he sanctify his field after
the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money
according to the years that remain unto the year of jubilee, and an
abatement shall be made from thy valuation. 27:19 And if he that
sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the
fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be
assured to him. 27:20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he
have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any
more. 27:21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be
holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall
be the priest's. 27:22 And if he sanctify unto the LORD a field which
he hath bought, which is not of the field of his possession; 27:23
then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy valuation unto
the year of jubilee; and he shall give thy valuation in that day, as
a holy thing unto the LORD. 27:24 In the year of jubilee the field
shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the
possession of the land belongeth. 27:25 And all thy valuations shall
be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be
the shekel.
> 27:26 Howbeit the firstling among beasts, which
is born as a firstling to the LORD, no man shall sanctify it; whether
it be ox or sheep, it is the LORD'S. 27:27 And if it be of an unclean
beast, then he shall ransom it according to thy valuation, and shall
add unto it the fifth part thereof; or if it be not redeemed, then it
shall be sold according to thy valuation.
> 27:28
Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man may devote unto the
LORD of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of
his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is
most holy unto the LORD. 27:29 None devoted, that may be devoted of
men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.
>
27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land,
or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S; it is holy unto the LORD.
27:31 And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto
it the fifth part thereof. 27:32 And all the tithe of the herd or the
flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto
the LORD. 27:33 He shall not inquire whether it be good or bad,
neither shall he change it; and if he change it at all, then both it
and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be
redeemed.
> 27:34 These are the commandments, which the LORD
commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
