Lydnad innebär välsignelse

(5 Mos 7:12-16; 28:1-14)

26 Ni får inte göra er några avgudar eller sätta upp stenstoder eller ställa uthuggna stenar i ert land för att tillbe dem. Jag är Herren, er Gud.

²Ni ska hålla mina sabbater och visa vördnad för min helgedom, för jag är Herren.

³Om ni lyder mina stadgar och håller mina bud och rättar er efter dem, ⁴ska jag ge er regn regelbundet. Landet ska ge sin skörd och träden sin frukt. ⁵Ni ska få tröska tills det är dags för druvskörden och den ska i sin tur pågå tills det åter är dags att så. Ni ska få äta er mätta och bo tryggt i landet.

⁶Jag kommer att ge er fred i landet och ni ska kunna gå till vila utan att behöva vara rädda. Jag ska driva bort alla farliga djur och inget svärd ska mer gå fram genom ert land. ⁷Ni ska förfölja era fiender och de ska dö för era svärd. ⁸Fem av er ska driva bort hundra och hundra ska driva bort tiotusen. Era fiender ska falla för era svärd.

⁹Jag ska beskydda er, göra er fruktsamma och föröka er och upprätthålla mitt förbund med er. ¹⁰Ni ska ha ett sådant överflöd av säd att äta att ni inte kommer att veta vad ni ska göra med den när nästa skörd är mogen. ¹¹Jag ska bo hos er och ska inte överge er. ¹²Jag ska vandra ibland er och vara er Gud och ni ska vara mitt folk. ¹³För jag är Herren, er Gud, som ledde er ut ur Egyptens land för att ni inte skulle behöva vara slavar. Jag har brutit sönder ert ok så att ni kan vandra fram med värdighet.

Följden av olydnad

(5 Mos 28:15-68)

¹⁴Men om ni inte lyssnar till mig eller lyder mina bud ¹⁵utan förkastar mina stadgar och föraktar mina befallningar så att ni inte handlar efter mina bud utan bryter mitt förbund, ¹⁶så ska jag låta er drabbas av ångest, förödande sjukdom och brännande feber. Er syn ska försvagas och era liv förkortas. Ni ska så er säd förgäves och era fiender ska äta upp skörden.

¹⁷Jag ska vända mig mot er och ni kommer att bli slagna av era fiender. De som hatar er kommer att regera över er. Ni kommer till och med att fly fast ingen förföljer er. ¹⁸Om ni då fortfarande är olydiga mot mig, ska jag straffa er sju gånger värre för era synder. ¹⁹Jag ska krossa ert stolta övermod och göra så att er himmel blir som järn och er jord som koppar. ²⁰Ni ska använda era krafter förgäves. Ert land ska inte ge skördar och era träd ska vara utan frukt.

²¹Om ni ändå fortsätter med er fientliga inställning mot mig och inte vill lyssna till mig, ska jag låta er drabbas sju gånger värre såsom era synder förtjänar. ²²Jag ska sända vilda djur som ska döda era barn, fördärva era boskapshjordar och minska ert antal så att vägarna blir öde.

²³Om inte ens detta får er att bättra er utan ni fortsätter att vandra i strid mot min vilja, ²⁴ska jag möta er med samma fientlighet och göra det sju gånger värre för era synders skull. ²⁵Jag ska hämnas med svärd för att ni brutit förbundet med mig. Ni ska tvingas fly till era städer, jag ska sända sjukdomar bland er där och ni kommer att besegras av era fiender. ²⁶Jag ska förstöra era livsmedelsförråd, så att tio kvinnor ska i en enda ugn kunna baka ert bröd. Ni ska fortfarande vara hungriga efter att ha ätit de ransoner som vägs upp åt er.

²⁷Om ni då fortfarande inte lyssnar till mig utan fortsätter med er fientliga inställning, ²⁸ska jag låta min vrede komma lös över er och sända sju gånger värre straff för era synder. ²⁹Ni ska äta era egna söner och döttrar. ³⁰Jag ska förgöra era offerplatser, hugga ner era rökelsealtaren och lämna era döda kroppar att ligga och ruttna bland avgudarna. Jag ska avsky er. ³¹Jag ska göra era städer öde och förstöra era helgedomar och kommer inte att finna lukten av era offer som behaglig. ³²Jag ska ödelägga ert land, så att era fiender som bor där kommer att förvånas.

³³Jag kommer att sprida ut er bland de olika folken och förfölja er med draget svärd. Ert land ska bli öde och era städer förstörda. ³⁴Då ska landet få gottgörelse för sina sabbater under den tid det ligger öde och ni är fångar i fiendeland. Då ska landet vila och njuta av sina sabbater. ³⁵Hela den tid landet ligger öde ska det ha den sabbatsvila det inte fick under era sabbater medan ni bodde där.

³⁶Jag kommer att göra dem som lämnats kvar så ängsliga i sina hjärtan i sina fienders länder att ljudet av ett löv som virvlar runt i vinden får dem att fly som om de förföljdes av en man med svärd. De ska falla när ingen jagar dem. ³⁷Även om ingen förföljer dem ska de snubbla över varandra i flykten som om de flydde för svärd. Ni kommer inte att kunna stå emot era fiender. ³⁸Ni ska förgås bland folken och uppslukas av era fienders land. ³⁹De som är kvar ska tyna bort i fiendeland på grund av sina egna synder men också på grund av sina förfäders synder.

⁴⁰Men då ska de bekänna både sina egna och sina förfäders synder, att de och deras förfäder syndat genom att handla trolöst mot mig och genom att avvisa mig ⁴¹så att jag också visat fientlighet mot dem och fört dem till fiendens land. När slutligen deras onda hjärtan ödmjukar sig och de sonar sina synder, ⁴²ska jag på nytt komma ihåg mitt förbund med Abraham, Isak och Jakob och jag ska tänka på landet. ⁴³Landet ska överges av dem och få njuta av sina sabbater medan det ligger öde utan dem. Då ska de sona sitt brott för att de förkastat mina stadgar och avskytt mina befallningar. ⁴⁴Trots detta ska jag ändå inte – medan de är i sina fienders land – utrota dem och bryta mitt förbund med dem, för jag är Herren, deras Gud. ⁴⁵För deras skull ska jag tänka på mitt förbund med deras förfäder som jag ledde ut ur Egypten medan alla folk såg på, för att jag skulle vara deras Gud. Jag är Herren.’ ”

⁴⁶Det här var de stadgar, bud och lagar som Herren gav genom Mose på Sinai berg.

Leviticus 26

New International Version

Reward for Obedience

26 “‘Do not make idols^(A) or set up an image^(B) or a sacred stone^(C) for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone^(D) in your land to bow down before it. I am the Lord your God.

²“‘Observe my Sabbaths^(E) and have reverence for my sanctuary.^(F) I am the Lord.

³“‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey^(G) my commands, ⁴I will send you rain^(H) in its season,^(I) and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit.^(J) ⁵Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want^(K) and live in safety in your land.^(L)

⁶“‘I will grant peace in the land,^(M) and you will lie down^(N) and no one will make you afraid.^(O) I will remove wild beasts^(P) from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. ⁷You will pursue your enemies,^(Q) and they will fall by the sword before you. ⁸Five^(R) of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.^(S)

⁹“‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers,^(T) and I will keep my covenant^(U) with you. ¹⁰You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new.^(V) ¹¹I will put my dwelling place^[a]^(W) among you, and I will not abhor you.^(X) ¹²I will walk^(Y) among you and be your God,^(Z) and you will be my people.^(AA) ¹³I am the Lord your God,^(AB) who brought you out of Egypt^(AC) so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke^(AD) and enabled you to walk with heads held high.

Punishment for Disobedience

¹⁴“‘But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands,^(AE) ¹⁵and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws^(AF) and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant,^(AG) ¹⁶then I will do this to you: I will bring on you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever^(AH) that will destroy your sight and sap your strength.^(AI) You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.^(AJ) ¹⁷I will set my face^(AK) against you so that you will be defeated^(AL) by your enemies;^(AM) those who hate you will rule over you,^(AN) and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you.^(AO)

¹⁸“‘If after all this you will not listen to me,^(AP) I will punish^(AQ) you for your sins seven times over.^(AR) ¹⁹I will break down your stubborn pride^(AS) and make the sky above you like iron and the ground beneath you like bronze.^(AT) ²⁰Your strength will be spent in vain,^(AU) because your soil will not yield its crops, nor will the trees of your land yield their fruit.^(AV)

²¹“‘If you remain hostile^(AW) toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over,^(AX) as your sins deserve. ²²I will send wild animals^(AY) against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few^(AZ) in number that your roads will be deserted.^(BA)

²³“‘If in spite of these things you do not accept my correction^(BB) but continue to be hostile toward me, ²⁴I myself will be hostile^(BC) toward you and will afflict you for your sins seven times over. ²⁵And I will bring the sword^(BD) on you to avenge^(BE) the breaking of the covenant. When you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague^(BF) among you, and you will be given into enemy hands. ²⁶When I cut off your supply of bread,^(BG) ten women will be able to bake your bread in one oven, and they will dole out the bread by weight. You will eat, but you will not be satisfied.

²⁷“‘If in spite of this you still do not listen to me^(BH) but continue to be hostile toward me, ²⁸then in my anger^(BI) I will be hostile^(BJ) toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over.^(BK) ²⁹You will eat^(BL) the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.^(BM) ³⁰I will destroy your high places,^(BN) cut down your incense altars^(BO) and pile your dead bodies^[b] on the lifeless forms of your idols,^(BP) and I will abhor^(BQ) you. ³¹I will turn your cities into ruins^(BR) and lay waste^(BS) your sanctuaries,^(BT) and I will take no delight in the pleasing aroma of your offerings.^(BU) ³²I myself will lay waste the land,^(BV) so that your enemies who live there will be appalled.^(BW) ³³I will scatter^(BX) you among the nations^(BY) and will draw out my sword^(BZ) and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste,^(CA) and your cities will lie in ruins.^(CB) ³⁴Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate^(CC) and you are in the country of your enemies;^(CD) then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. ³⁵All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest^(CE) it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it.

³⁶“‘As for those of you who are left, I will make their hearts so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf^(CF) will put them to flight.^(CG) They will run as though fleeing from the sword, and they will fall, even though no one is pursuing them.^(CH) ³⁷They will stumble over one another^(CI) as though fleeing from the sword, even though no one is pursuing them. So you will not be able to stand before your enemies.^(CJ) ³⁸You will perish^(CK) among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.^(CL) ³⁹Those of you who are left will waste away in the lands of their enemies because of their sins; also because of their ancestors’^(CM) sins they will waste away.^(CN)

⁴⁰“‘But if they will confess^(CO) their sins^(CP) and the sins of their ancestors^(CQ)—their unfaithfulness and their hostility toward me, ⁴¹which made me hostile^(CR) toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies—then when their uncircumcised hearts^(CS) are humbled^(CT) and they pay^(CU) for their sin, ⁴²I will remember my covenant with Jacob^(CV) and my covenant with Isaac^(CW) and my covenant with Abraham,^(CX) and I will remember the land. ⁴³For the land will be deserted^(CY) by them and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They will pay for their sins because they rejected^(CZ) my laws and abhorred my decrees.^(DA) ⁴⁴Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies,^(DB) I will not reject them or abhor^(DC) them so as to destroy them completely,^(DD) breaking my covenant^(DE) with them. I am the Lord their God. ⁴⁵But for their sake I will remember^(DF) the covenant with their ancestors whom I brought out of Egypt^(DG) in the sight of the nations to be their God. I am the Lord.’”

⁴⁶These are the decrees, the laws and the regulations that the Lord established at Mount Sinai^(DH) between himself and the Israelites through Moses.^(DI)

²^(C)You shall ^[a]keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary:

I am the Lord.

³^(D)‘If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them,

⁴^(E)then I will give you rain in its season, ^(F)the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

you shall eat your bread to the full, and ^(H)dwell in your land safely.

⁸^(M)Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight;

your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.

⁹‘For I will ^(N)look on you favorably and ^(O)make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My ^(P)covenant with you.

¹⁰You shall eat the ^(Q)old harvest, and clear out the old because of the new.

¹¹^(R)I will set My ^[c]tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you.

¹²^(S)I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.

¹³I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves;

I have broken the bands of your ^(T)yoke and made you walk ^[d]upright.

¹⁴‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,

¹⁵and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,

¹⁶I also will do this to you:

I will even appoint terror over you, ^(U)wasting disease and fever which shall ^(V)consume the eyes and ^(W)cause sorrow of heart.

And ^(X)you shall sow your seed ^[e]in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

¹⁷I will ^[f]set ^(Y)My face against you, and ^(Z)you shall be defeated by your enemies.

^(AA)Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall ^(AB)flee when no one pursues you.

¹⁸‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you ^(AC)seven times more for your sins.

¹⁹I will ^(AD)break the pride of your power;

I ^(AE)will make your heavens like iron and your earth like bronze.

²⁰And your ^(AF)strength shall be spent in vain;

for your ^(AG)land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

²¹‘Then, if you walk contrary to Me, and are not willing to obey Me, I will bring on you seven times more plagues, according to your sins.

²²^(AH)I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number;

and ^(AI)your highways shall be desolate.

²³‘And if ^(AJ)by these things you are not reformed by Me, but walk contrary to Me,

²⁴^(AK)then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

²⁵And ^(AL)I will bring a sword against you that will execute the vengeance of the covenant;

when you are gathered together within your cities ^(AM)I will send pestilence among you;

and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

²⁶^(AN)When I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back your bread by weight, ^(AO)and you shall eat and not be satisfied.

²⁷‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me,

²⁸then I also will walk contrary to you in fury;

and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

²⁹^(AP)You^[g] shall eat the flesh of your sons, and you shall eat the flesh of your daughters.

³⁰^(AQ)I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols;

and My soul shall abhor you.

³¹I will lay your ^(AR)cities waste and ^(AS)bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not ^(AT)smell the fragrance of your ^[h]sweet aromas.

³²^(AU)I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

³³^(AV)I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you;

your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.

³⁴^(AW)Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies’ land;

then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

³⁵As long as it lies desolate it shall rest—

for the time it did not rest on your ^(AX)sabbaths when you dwelt in it.

³⁶‘And as for those of you who are left, I will send ^(AY)faintness^[i] into their hearts in the lands of their enemies;

the sound of a shaken leaf shall cause them to flee;

they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one pursues.

³⁷^(AZ)They shall stumble over one another, as it were before a sword, when no one pursues;

and ^(BA)you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

³⁸You shall ^(BB)perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

³⁹And those of you who are left ^(BC)shall ^[j]waste away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands;

also in their ^(BD)fathers’ iniquities, which are with them, they shall waste away.

⁴⁰‘But ^(BE)if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,

⁴¹and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies;

if their ^(BF)uncircumcised hearts are ^(BG)humbled, and they ^(BH)accept their guilt—

⁴²then I will ^(BI)remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember;

I will ^(BJ)remember the land.

⁴³^(BK)The land also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them;

they will accept their guilt, because they ^(BL)despised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes.

⁴⁴Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, ^(BM)I will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them;

for I am the Lord their God.

⁴⁵But ^(BN)for their sake I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, ^(BO)whom I brought out of the land of Egypt ^(BP)in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God:

I am the Lord.’ ”

⁴⁶^(BQ)These are the statutes and judgments and laws which the Lord made between Himself and the children of Israel ^(BR)on Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
