Leviticus 26

1 You shall make you no idols, neither shall you rear you up an engraved image, or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am the LORD your God.
2 You shall keep my Shabbatot, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
3 If you walk in my statutes, and keep my mitzvot, and do them;
4 then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5 Your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6 I will give shalom in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will cause evil animals to cease out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
7 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 chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9 I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.
10 You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall bring forth the old because of the new.
11 I will set my tent among you: and my soul won't abhor you.
12 I will walk 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 Mitzrayim, that you should not be their bondservants; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.
14 But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these mitzvot;
15 and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhor my ordinances, so that you will not do all my mitzvot, but break my covenant;
16 I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17 I will set my face against you, and you shall be struck before your enemies: those who hate you shall rule over you; and you shall flee when none pursues you.
18 If you will not yet for these things listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.
19 I will break the pride of your power: and I will make your sky as iron, and your eretz as brass;
20 and your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield its increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.
21 If you walk contrary to me, and won't listen to me, I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins.
22 I will send the animal 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.
23 If by these things you won't be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me;
24 then will I also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins.
25 I will bring a sword on you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you shall be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
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 you shall eat, and not be satisfied.
27 If you won't for all this listen to me, but walk contrary to me;
28 then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.
29 You shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you eat.
30 I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your dead bodies on the bodies of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you.
31 I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I won't smell the savor of your sweet odors.
32 I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
33 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.
34 Then shall the land enjoy its Shabbatot, as long as it lies desolate, and you are in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy its Shabbatot.
35 As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn't have in your Shabbatot, when you lived on it.
36 As for those who 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 flees from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursues.
37 They shall stumble one on another, as it were before the sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
38 You shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 Those who 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 They shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,
41 I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity;
42 then will I remember my covenant with Ya`akov; and also my covenant with Yitzchak, and also my covenant with Avraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
43 The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its Shabbatot, while it lies desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.
44 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;
45 but I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Mitzrayim in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
46 These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Yisra'el in Mount Sinai by Moshe.

Leviticus 27

1 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Yisra'el, and tell them, When a man shall accomplish a vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by your estimation.
3 Your estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
4 If it be a female, then your estimation shall be thirty shekels.
5 If it be from five years old even to twenty years old, then your estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
6 If it be from a month old even to five years old, then your estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
7 If it be from sixty years old and upward; if it be a male, then your estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
8 But if he be poorer than your estimation, then he shall be set before the Kohen, and the Kohen shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall the Kohen value him.
9 If it be a animal, whereof men offer an offering to the LORD, all that any man gives of such to the LORD shall be holy.
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 animal for animal, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.
11 If it be any unclean animal, of which they do not offer an offering to the LORD, then he shall set the animal before the Kohen;
12 and the Kohen shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as you the Kohen value it, so shall it be.
13 But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to your estimation.
14 When a man shall sanctify his house to be holy to the LORD, then the Kohen shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the Kohen shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
15 If he who sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be his.
16 If a man shall sanctify to the LORD part of the field of his possession, then your estimation shall be according to the sowing of it: the sowing of a homer of barley [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of silver.
17 If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to your estimation it shall stand.
18 But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the Kohen shall reckon to him the money according to the years that remain to the year of jubilee; and an abatement shall be made from your estimation.
19 If he who sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your estimation to it, and it shall be assured to him.
20 If he will not redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more:
21 but the field, when it goes out in the jubilee, shall be holy to the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession of it shall be the Kohen's.
22 If he sanctify to the LORD a field which he has bought, which is not of the field of his possession;
23 then the Kohen shall reckon to him the worth of your estimation to the year of jubilee: and he shall give your estimation in that day, as a holy thing to the LORD.
24 In the year of jubilee the field shall return to him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongs.
25 All your estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
26 Only the firstborn among animals, which is made a firstborn to the LORD, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox or sheep, it is the LORD's.
27 If it be of an unclean animal, then he shall ransom it according to your estimation, and shall add to it the fifth part of it: or if it isn't redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your estimation.
28 Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man shall devote to the LORD of all that he has, whether of man or animal, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to the LORD.
29 No one devoted, who shall be devoted from among men, shall be ransomed; he shall surely be put to death.
30 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 to the LORD.
31 If a man will redeem anything of his tithe, he shall add to it the fifth part of it.
32 All the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatever passes under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the LORD.
33 He shall not search 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.
34 These are the mitzvot, which the LORD commanded Moshe for the children of Yisra'el in Mount Sinai.
