26 You shall make for yourselves no idols nor shall you erect a graven image, pillar, or obelisk, nor shall you place any figured stone in your land to which or on which to bow down; 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 statutes and keep My commandments and do them,

⁴ I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase and the trees of the field yield their fruit.

⁵ And your threshing [time] shall reach to the vintage and the vintage [time] shall reach to the sowing time, and you shall eat your bread to the full and dwell in your land securely.

⁶ I will give peace in the land; you shall lie down and none shall fill you with dread or make you afraid; and I will clear ferocious (wild) beasts out of the land, and no sword shall go through your land.

⁷ And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

⁸ Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

⁹ For I will be leaning toward you with favor and regard for you, rendering you fruitful, multiplying you, and establishing and ratifying My covenant with you.^(A)

¹⁰ And you shall eat the [abundant] old store of produce long kept, and clear out the old [to make room] for the new.

¹¹ I will set My dwelling in and among you, and My soul shall not despise or reject or separate itself from you.

¹² And I will walk in and with and among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people.

¹³ I am the Lord your God, Who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should no more be slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect [as free men].

¹⁶ What agreement [can there be between] a temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in and with and among them and will walk in and with and among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.^(A)

¹⁷ So, come out from among [unbelievers], and separate (sever) yourselves from them, says the Lord, and touch not [any] unclean thing; then I will receive you kindly and treat you with favor,^(B)

¹⁸ And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.^(C)
