Chapter 26 of Leviticus—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ ‘You shall not make for yourselves [a]1idols, nor shall you set up for yourselves 2an image or 3a sacred pillar, nor shall you place a 4figured stone in your land to bow down [b]to it; for I am the LORD your God.
  2. 5You shall keep My sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary; I am the LORD.
  3. 6If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments so as to carry them out,
  4. then 7I shall give you rains in their season, so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.
  5. 8Indeed, your threshing will last for you until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until sowing time. You will thus eat your [c]food to the full and 9live securely in your land.
  6. 10I shall also grant peace in the land, so that 11you may lie down with no one making you tremble. 12I shall also eliminate harmful beasts from the land, and 13no sword will pass through your land.
  7. But you will chase your enemies and they will fall before you by the sword;
  8. 14five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall before you by the sword.
  9. So I will turn toward you and 15make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will 16confirm My covenant with you.
  10. 17You will eat the old supply and clear out the old because of the new.
  11. 18Moreover, I will make My [d]dwelling among you, and My soul will not [e]reject you.
  12. 19I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.
  13. 20I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would not be their slaves, and 21I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect.
  14. ¶ ‘22But if you do not obey Me and do not carry out all these commandments,
  15. if, instead, you 23reject My statutes, and if your soul abhors My ordinances so as not to carry out all My commandments, and so 24break My covenant,
  16. I, in turn, will do this to you: I will appoint over you a 25sudden terror, consumption and fever that will waste away the eyes and cause the 26soul to pine away; also, 27you will sow your seed uselessly, for your enemies will eat it up.
  17. I will set My face against you so that you will be struck down before your enemies; and 28those who hate you will rule over you, and 29you will flee when no one is pursuing you.
  18. If also after these things you do not obey Me, then I will punish you 30seven times more for your sins.
  19. I will also 31break down your pride of power; I will also make your sky like iron and your earth like bronze.
  20. 32Your strength will be spent uselessly, for your land will not yield its produce and the trees of the land will not yield their fruit.
  21. ¶ ‘If then, you [f]33act with hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the plague on you 34seven times according to your sins.
  22. 35I will let loose among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and destroy your cattle and reduce your number so that 36your roads lie deserted.
  23. ¶ ‘37And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me,
  24. then I will 38act with hostility against you; and I, even I, will strike you 39seven times for your sins.
  25. I will also bring upon you a sword which will execute 40vengeance for the covenant; and when you gather together into your cities, I will send 41pestilence among you, so that you shall be delivered into enemy hands.
  26. 42When I break your staff of bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven, and they will bring back your bread [g]in rationed amounts, so that you will 43eat and not be satisfied.
  27. ¶ ‘Yet if in spite of this you do not obey Me, but act with hostility against Me,
  28. then 44I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins.
  29. Further, 45you will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters you will eat.
  30. I then 46will destroy your high places, and cut down your 47incense altars, and heap your [h]remains on the [i]remains of your idols, for My soul shall abhor you.
  31. I will [j]lay 48waste your cities as well and will make your 49sanctuaries desolate, and I will not 50smell your soothing aromas.
  32. I will make 51the land desolate 52so that your enemies who settle in it will be appalled over it.
  33. You, however, I 53will scatter among the nations and will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become waste.
  34. ¶ ‘54Then the land will [k]enjoy its sabbaths all the days of the desolation, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land will rest and [l]enjoy its sabbaths.
  35. All the days of its desolation it will observe the rest which it did not observe on your sabbaths, while you were living on it.
  36. As for those of you who may be left, I will also bring 55weakness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf will chase them, and even when no one is pursuing they will flee [m]as though from the sword, and they will fall.
  37. 56They will therefore stumble over each other as if running from the sword, although no one is pursuing; and you will have no strength [n]to stand up before your enemies.
  38. But 57you will perish among the nations, and your enemies’ land will consume you.
  39. 58So those of you who may be left will rot away because of their iniquity in the lands of your enemies; and also because of the iniquities of their forefathers they will rot away with them.
  40. ¶ ‘59If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also in their acting with hostility against Me—
  41. I also was acting with hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their enemies—60or if their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled so that 61they then make amends for their iniquity,
  42. then I will remember 62My covenant with Jacob, and I will remember also 63My covenant with Isaac, and 64My covenant with Abraham as well, and I will remember the land.
  43. 65For the land will be abandoned by them, and will make up for its sabbaths while it is made desolate without them. They, meanwhile, will be making amends for their iniquity, [o]because they rejected My ordinances and their 66soul abhorred My statutes.
  44. Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so 67abhor them as 68to destroy them, 69breaking My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.
  45. But I will remember for them the 70covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that 71I might be their God. I am the LORD.’”
  46. 72These are the statutes and ordinances and laws which the LORD established between Himself and the sons of Israel [p]through Moses at Mount Sinai.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
