Leviticus

1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven im­age, nei­ther rear you up a stand­ing im­age, nei­ther shall ye set up any im­age of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God. 2 Ye shall keep my sab­baths, and rev­er­ence my sanc­tu­ary: I am the LORD. 3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my com­mand­ments, and do them; 4 Then I will give you rain in due sea­son, and the land shall yield her in­crease, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your thresh­ing shall reach unto the vin­tage, and the vin­tage shall reach unto the sow­ing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safe­ly. 6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, nei­ther shall the sword go through your land. 7 And ye shall chase your en­e­mies, and they shall fall be­fore you by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase an hun­dred, and an hun­dred of you shall put ten thou­sand to flight: and your en­e­mies shall fall be­fore you by the sword. 9 For I will have re­spect unto you, and make you fruit­ful, and mul­ti­ply you, and es­tab­lish my covenant with you. 10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old be­cause of the new. 11 And I will set my taber­na­cle among you: and my soul shall not ab­hor you. 12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my peo­ple. 13 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bond­men; and I have bro­ken the bands of your yoke, and made you go up­right. 14 But if ye will not hear­ken unto me, and will not do all these com­mand­ments; 15 And if ye shall de­spise my statutes, or if your soul ab­hor my judg­ments, so that ye will not do all my com­mand­ments, but that ye break my covenant: 16 I also will do this unto you; I will even ap­point over you ter­ror, con­sump­tion, and the burn­ing ague, that shall con­sume the eyes, and cause sor­row of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your en­e­mies shall eat it. 17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain be­fore your en­e­mies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pur­sueth you. 18 And if ye will not yet for all this hear­ken unto me, then I will pun­ish you sev­en times more for 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: for your land shall not yield her in­crease, nei­ther shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 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. 22 I 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 your high ways shall be des­o­late. 23 And if ye will not be re­formed by me by these things, but will walk con­trary unto me; 24 Then will I also walk con­trary unto you, and will pun­ish you yet sev­en times for your sins. 25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quar­rel of my covenant: and when ye are gath­ered to­geth­er with­in your cities, I will send the pesti­lence among you; and ye shall be de­liv­ered into the hand of the en­e­my. 26 And when I have bro­ken the staff of your bread, ten wom­en shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall de­liv­er you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be sat­is­fied. 27 And if ye will not for all this hear­ken unto me, but walk con­trary unto me; 28 Then I will walk con­trary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chas­tise you sev­en times for your sins. 29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daugh­ters shall ye eat. 30 And I will de­stroy your high places, and cut down your im­ages, and cast your car­cas­es upon the car­cas­es of your idols, and my soul shall ab­hor you. 31 And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanc­tu­ar­ies unto des­o­la­tion, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. 32 And I will bring the land into des­o­la­tion: and your en­e­mies which dwell there­in shall be as­ton­ished at it. 33 And I will scat­ter you among the hea­then, and will draw out a sword af­ter you: and your land shall be des­o­late, and your cities waste. 34 Then shall the land en­joy her sab­baths, as long as it li­eth des­o­late, and ye be in your en­e­mies' land; even then shall the land rest, and en­joy her sab­baths. 35 As long as it li­eth des­o­late it shall rest; be­cause it did not rest in your sab­baths, when ye dwelt upon it. 36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a 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 sword; and they shall fall when none pur­sueth. 37 And they shall fall one upon an­oth­er, as it were be­fore a sword, when none pur­sueth: and ye shall have no pow­er to stand be­fore your en­e­mies. 38 And ye shall per­ish among the hea­then, and the land of your en­e­mies shall eat you up. 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. 40 If they shall con­fess their in­iq­ui­ty, and the in­iq­ui­ty of their fa­thers, with their tres­pass which they tres­passed against me, and that also they have walked con­trary unto me; 41 And that I also have walked con­trary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their en­e­mies; if then their un­cir­cum­cised hearts be hum­bled, and they then ac­cept of the pun­ish­ment of their in­iq­ui­ty: 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. 43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall en­joy her sab­baths, while she li­eth des­o­late with­out them: and they shall ac­cept of the pun­ish­ment of their in­iq­ui­ty: be­cause, even be­cause they de­spised my judg­ments, and be­cause their soul ab­horred my statutes. 44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their en­e­mies, I will not cast them away, nei­ther will I ab­hor them, to de­stroy them ut­ter­ly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God. 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 hea­then, that I might be their God: I am the LORD. 46 These are the statutes and judg­ments and laws, which the LORD made be­tween him and the chil­dren of Is­rael in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
