Beginning
26 ‘You shall make no idols or graven images. Nor shall you rear up any pillar. Nor shall you set any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it. 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 Ordinances and keep My Commandments, and do them,
4 ‘I will then send you rain in due season. And the land shall yield her increase. And the trees of the field shall give their fruit.
5 ‘And your threshing shall reach until the vintage. And the vintage shall reach until sowing time. And you shall eat your bread in abundance, and dwell in your land safely.
6 ‘And I will send peace in the land. And you shall sleep. And no one shall make you afraid. Also, I will rid the land of evil beasts. And the sword shall not go through your land.
7 ‘Also you shall chase your enemies and they shall fall before you upon the sword.
8 ‘And 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 upon the sword.
9 ‘For I will have respect to you and make you increase and multiply you and establish My Covenant with you.
10 ‘You shall also eat old stores and clear out the old because of the new.
11 ‘And I will set My Tabernacle among you. And My Soul shall not loathe you.
12 ‘Also, I will walk among you. And I will be your God. And you shall be My people.
13 ‘I am the LORD your God, Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would not be their bondmen. And I have broken the bonds of your yoke and made you go upright.
14 ‘But if you will not obey Me, or do all these Commandments;
15 ‘and if you shall despise My Ordinances, or if your soul abhors My Laws (so that you will not do all My Commandments, but break My Covenant),
16 ‘then will I also do this to you: I will appoint fearfulness over you, a consumption and fever to consume the eyes and make the heart heavy. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17 ‘And I will set My Face against you. And you shall fall before your enemies. And those who hate you shall reign over you. And you shall flee when no one pursues you.
18 ‘And if, after this, you will not obey Me, then will I punish you seven times more, according to 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. Nor shall your land give her increase. Nor shall the trees of the land give their fruit.
21 ‘And if you walk stubbornly against Me, and will not obey Me, I will then bring seven times more plagues upon you, according to your sins.
22 ‘I will also send wild beasts upon you, which shall rob you, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number. So your highways shall be desolate.
23 ‘Yet, if by these you will not be reformed by Me, but walk stubbornly against Me,
24 ‘then I will also walk stubbornly against you. And I will strike you yet seven times for your sins.
25 ‘And I will send a sword upon you that shall avenge the quarrel of My Covenant. And when you are gathered in your cities, I will send the pestilence among you. And you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26 ‘When I shall break the supply of your bread, then ten women shall bake your bread in one oven. And they shall deliver your bread again by weight. And you shall eat, but not be satisfied.
27 ‘Yet, after this, if you will not obey Me, but walk against Me stubbornly,
28 ‘then will I walk stubbornly in anger against you. And I will also chastise you seven times, according to your sins.
29 ‘And you shall eat the flesh of your sons. And the flesh of your daughters shall you devour.
30 ‘I will also destroy your high places and cut away your images and cast your carcasses upon the bodies of your idols. And My Soul shall abhor you.
31 ‘And I will make your cities desolate and bring your Sanctuary to nothing. And I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.
32 ‘I will also bring the land to a wilderness. And your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
33 ‘Also, I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you. And your land shall be waste. And your cities shall be desolate.
34 ‘Then shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate. And you shall be in your enemies’ land. Then shall the land rest and enjoy her Sabbaths.
35 ‘All the days that it lies desolate, it shall rest, because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when you dwelt on it.
36 ‘And upon those who are left, I will send a weakness into their hearts in the land of your enemies. And the sound of a leaf shaken shall chase them. And they shall flee as fleeing from a sword. And they shall fall, no man pursuing them.
37 ‘They shall also fall one upon another, as before a sword, though no one pursues them. And you shall not be able to stand before your enemies.
38 ‘And you shall perish among the heathen. And the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 ‘And those who are left shall rot in their iniquity, in your enemies’ lands. And in the iniquities of their fathers shall they rot also.
40 ‘Then they shall confess their iniquity, and the wickedness of their fathers, for their trespass which they have trespassed against Me; and also because they have walked stubbornly against Me.
41 ‘Therefore, I will walk stubbornly against them, and bring them into the land of their enemies. So, then, their uncircumcised hearts shall be humbled. And they shall willingly bear their iniquity.
42 ‘Then I will remember My Covenant with Jacob, and also My Covenant with Isaac. And I will also remember My Covenant with Abraham; and will remember the land.
43 ‘The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its Sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. But they shall willingly suffer their iniquity, because they despised My Laws, because their soul abhorred My Ordinances.
44 ‘Yet, notwithstanding this, when they shall be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away. Nor will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, to break My Covenant with them. For I am the LORD their God.
45 ‘But I will remember the Covenant of old for them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the heathen, so that I might be their God. I am the LORD.’”
46 These are the Ordinances and the Judgments and the Laws which the LORD made between Him and the children of Israel, on Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
27 Moreover, the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘If, by your valuation, anyone shall make an extraordinary vow over a person to the LORD,
3 ‘then your valuation shall be—if it is a male from twenty years old to sixty years old—your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the Sanctuary.
4 ‘But if it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels.
5 ‘And, from five years old to twenty years old, your valuation shall be twenty shekels for the male and ten shekels for the female.
6 ‘But, from a month old to five years old, your price for the male shall be five shekels of silver. And your price for the female: three shekels of silver.
7 ‘And, from sixty years old and above, if a male, then your price shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
8 ‘But if he is poorer than had been thought, then he shall present himself before the Priest, and the Priest shall value him according to the ability of he who vowed. The Priest shall value him.
9 ‘And, if it is a beast of which men bring an offering to the LORD, all that one gives of such to the LORD shall be holy.
10 ‘He shall not alter it or change it, a good for a bad nor a bad for a good. And if he changes beast for beast, then both this and that which was exchanged shall be holy.
11 ‘And if it is any unclean beast of which men do not offer a sacrifice to the LORD, he shall then present the beast before the Priest.
12 ‘And the Priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you, the Priest, value it, so shall it be.
13 ‘But, if he will buy it again, then he shall give a fifth more for it above your valuation.
14 ‘Also, when a man shall dedicate his house to be holy to the LORD, then the Priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As the Priest shall price it, so shall the value be.
15 ‘But, if he who sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall give for it a fifth more money than your estimation, and it shall be his.
16 ‘Also, if a man dedicates any ground of his inheritance to the LORD, then you shall value it according to its seed. An homer of barley seed shall be fifty shekels of silver.
17 ‘If he dedicates his field from the year of Jubilee, it shall be worth whatever you value it.
18 ‘But, if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the Priest shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain until the year of Jubilee. And it shall be deducted from your valuation.
19 ‘And if he who dedicates it will redeem the field, then he shall put a fifth of the price at which you valued it towards it. And it shall remain his.
20 ‘And if he will not redeem the field, but sells the field to another man, it shall be redeemed no more.
21 ‘But the field shall be holy to the LORD when it goes out in the Jubilee, as a field separate from common uses. The possession of it shall be the Priest’s.
22 ‘Also, if a man dedicates a field which he has bought to the LORD (which is not of the ground of his inheritance),
23 ‘then the Priest shall set the price to him as you value it, until the year of Jubilee. And he shall give your price the same day, holy, to the LORD.
24 ‘In the year of Jubilee, the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to him whose inheritance the land was.
25 And all the valuation shall be according to the shekel of the Sanctuary. A shekel contains twenty gerahs.
26 ‘But the firstborn of the beasts—because it is the LORD’s firstborn—no one shall dedicate, be it bullock or sheep. It is the LORD’s.
27 ‘But if it is an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it by your valuation and give a fifth more for it. And if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
28 ‘Nevertheless, nothing separate from the common use which a man separates to the LORD of all that he has (whether man or beast or land of his inheritance) may be sold or redeemed. Everything separate from the common use is Most Holy to the LORD.
29 ‘Nothing separate from the common use which shall be separate from man, shall be redeemed, but die the death.
30 ‘Also, all the tithe of the land—of the seed of the ground and of the fruit of the trees—is the LORD’s. It is holy to the LORD.
31 ‘But if a man will redeem any of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.
32 ‘And of every tithe of bullock, and of sheep, and of all that goes under the rod, a tenth shall be holy to the LORD.
33 ‘He shall not look if it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it. Because if he exchanges it, both it and that for which it was exchanged shall be holy. It shall not be redeemed.’”
34 These are the Commandments which the LORD commanded by Moses to the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.
