[26:18] "'If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins. [26:19] I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like brass; [26:20] and your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won't yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.
[26:21] "'If you walk contrary to me, and won't listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins. [26:22] I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your roads will become desolate.
[26:23] "'If by these things you won't be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me; [26:24] then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins. [26:25] I will bring a sword upon you, that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you will be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy. [26:26] 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.
[26:27] "'If you in spite of this won't listen to me, but walk contrary to me; [26:28] then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins. [26:29] You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters. [26:30] I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you. [26:31] I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings. [26:32] I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein will be astonished at it. [26:33] I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste. [26:34] Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies' land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. [26:35] As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn't have in your sabbaths, when you lived on it.
[26:36] "'As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues. [26:37] They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues: and you will have no power to stand before your enemies. [26:38] You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will eat you up. [26:39] Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
[26:40] "'If they 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, [26:41] I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity; [26:42] then I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land. [26:43] The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them: and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes. [26:44] 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 Yahweh their God; [26:45] but I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Yahweh.'"
[26:46] These are the statutes, ordinances and laws, which Yahweh made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
[27:1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [27:2] "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'When a man makes a vow, the persons shall be for Yahweh by your valuation. [27:3] Your valuation shall be of a male from twenty years old even to sixty years old, even your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary. [27:4] If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels. [27:5] If the person is from five years old even to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for a male twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels. [27:6] If the person is from a month old even to five years old, then your valuation shall be for a male five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver. [27:7] If the person is from sixty years old and upward; if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels. [27:8] But if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the ability of him who vowed shall the priest value him.
[27:9] "'If it is an animal, of which men offer an offering to Yahweh, all that any man gives of such to Yahweh becomes holy. [27:10] 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. [27:11] If it is any unclean animal, of which they do not offer as an offering to Yahweh, then he shall set the animal before the priest; [27:12] and the priest shall value it, whether it is good or bad. As you the priest values it, so shall it be. [27:13] But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of it to its valuation.
[27:14] "'When a man dedicates his house to be holy to Yahweh, then the priest shall evaluate it, whether it is good or bad: as the priest shall evaluate it, so shall it stand. [27:15] If he who dedicates it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.
