Parsha Bechukotai

(26,3) If you follow My statutes and keep My commandments and you will fulfill them,

(26,4) I will provide your rains in their proper time. The earth shall give forth its produce and the tree of the field shall give forth its produce.

(26,5) [Because of the abundant produce] threshing will overtake the grape harvest and the grape harvest overtake the [time to] plant, and you will eat your bread to satiation and you will live securely in your land.

(26,6) I will grant peace in the land; you will lie down (sleep) without disturbance (fear). I will banish evil beasts from the land, and no sword shall pass through your land.

(26,7) You will pursue your enemies and they will fall before you by the sword.

(26,8) Five of you will pursue one hundred and one hundred of you will pursue ten thousand, and your enemies will fall before you by the sword.

(26,9) I will turn to you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and establish My covenant with you.

(26,10) You will eat the old [store] long kept and the old [store] you will have to clear out because of the new.

(26,11) I will set My Sanctuary among you and My spirit will not loathe (reject) you.

(26,12) I will walk among you and I will be a God for you, and you will be My people.

(26,13) I am Adonoy your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt from where you were slaves, and I broke the bars of your yoke and led you forth standing upright.

(26,14) And if you will not listen to Me and you will not fulfill all of these commandments.

(26,15) If you despise My statutes and your souls loathe My laws so as not to fulfill all My commandments, thereby breaking My convenant.

(26,16) Then I will do the same with you. I will impose terror upon you, [which causes] swelling and fever that consume the eyes and fill the soul with grief. You will plant [your seeds] in vain because your enemies will consume [your crops.]

(26,17) I will set my face against you and you will be defeated before your enemies; your foes will rule over you and you will flee [even] when no one is pursuing you.

(26,18) If after these [catastrophes] you still do not listen to Me, then I will increase your punishment sevenfold, as your sins.

(26,19) I will break the pride of your power. I will make your heavens like iron and your land like copper.

(26,20) Your strength will be exhausted in vain. Your land will not yield its produce and the tree[s] of the land will not give forth its produce.

(26,21) If you walk contrary to Me and have no desire to listen to Me, I will increase the blows upon you sevenfold, as your sins.

(26,22) I will send among you wild animals of the field and they will make you bereft of children, destroy your cattle, reduce your [population] and make your roads into wasteland.

(26,23) If after these [catastrophes] you have not been disciplined [to listen] to Me, and walk contrary to Me,

(26,24) [Then] I, too, will walk contrary to you; and I shall also smite you seven fold, for your sins.

(26,25) I will bring an avenging sword upon you avenging the covenant You will be huddled [in your cities]. I will send pestilence among you and you will be given into the hand of the enemy.

(26,26) When I break the staff of your bread, ten women will bake your bread in one oven and they will return your bread by weight. You will eat but you will not be satiated.

(26,27) If [in spite] of this you [still] will not listen to Me, and you will walk contrary to Me,

(26,28) I will walk contrary to you in fury, and indeed I too shall punish you sevenfold, 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 I will smash your sun images. I will set your corpses upon the carcasses (remains) of your idols, and My soul will loathe you.

(26,31) I will turn your cities into ruins and bring your Sanctuaries into desolation. I will no longer scent (accept favorably) the fragrance of your offerings.

(26,32) I will make the land [so] desolate that your enemies who live on it will be astonished.

(26,33) I will scatter you among the nations and unsheath the sword after you. Your land will be desolate and your cities will be in ruins.

(26,34) The land will then be appeased for its Shabbosos [during] all the days of its desolation while you are in the land of your enemies. Then the land will rest and be appeased for its Shabbosos.

(26,35) All the days that it lies desolate it shall have its rest—the rest it did not have on your Shabbosos when you were living upon it.

(26,36) To those who survive among you, I will send timidity into their hearts [as they live] in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a blown leaf will put them to flight and they will flee as though fleeing from a sword; and they will fall with no one chasing them.

(26,37) They will stumble over one other as though before a sword when there is no pursuer, and you will have no power to stand upright before your enemies.

(26,38) You will be lost among the nations and the land of your enemies will consume you.

(26,39) Those of you who survive will rot away in their iniquity in the land of your enemies, and also due to the iniquities of their ancestors which are [still] with them, [they] will they rot away.

(26,40) They will [then] confess their iniquities and the iniquities of their ancestors in the unfaithfulness with which they were unfaithful to Me, and also for walking contrary to Me.

(26,41) I, too, will go contrary to them and bring them into the land of their enemies. Or perhaps then will be humbled their uncircumcised (unyielding) heart and then their iniquities will be appeased (forgiven).

(26,42) I will [then] remember My covenant with Yaakov and also My covenant with Yitzchok and also My covenant with Avrohom, I will remember and I will remember the land.

(26,43) The land, being bereft of them, will be appeased for its Shabbosos, during the time of its desolation from them and their iniquities will then be appeased (forgiven) since what certainly caused [this] is that they despised My laws and their soul loathed (rejected) My statutes.

(26,44) All this not withstanding, even when they are in the land of their enemies I will not despise them and I will not loathe them to annihilate them, to break My covenant with them, for I am Adonoy, their God.

(26,45) I shall remember for them the covenant of their ancestors whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in sight of the nations to be a God for them, I am Adonoy.

(26,46) These are the statutes, the laws and the teachings that Adonoy set between Himself and between Bnei Yisroel, on Mount Sinai, through the hand of Moshe.

(27,1) Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying;

(27,2) Speak to Bnei Yisroel and say to them; when a person [orally] expresses a vow pledging valuation of souls, to Adonoy.

(27,3) The valuation for a male shall be, from twenty years of age to sixty years of age your valuation shall be fifty holy silver shekalim.

(27,4) If it be a female, the valuation shall be thirty shekalim.

(27,5) If from five years of age to twenty years of age the valuation for a male shall be twenty shekalim, and for a female, ten shekalim.

(27,6) If from one month of age to five years of age the valuation of a male shall be five silver shekalim and the valuation for a female is three silver shekalim.

(27,7) If from sixty and above, if he is a male the valuation shall be fifteen shekalim and for a female, ten shekalim.

(27,8) If he is [too] poor to pay the valuation he shall set him[self] [=he shall be presented] before the kohein, and the kohein will determine his valuation. According to the means of the one who vowed the kohein will determine his valuation.

(27,9) If [it is] an animal which can be brought as an offering to Adonoy, any of it that he will give to Adonoy shall become sacred.

(27,10) He shall not exchange it [with anothers animal] and he shall not change it [with his own animal] whether it be a good one for a worse one [or] a bad one for a better one. If he did exchange one animal for another animal, then both it and its replacement shall be sacred.

(27,11) If it is any unclean (blemished) animal which cannot be offered to Adonoy, he shall present the animal to the kohein.

(27,12) The kohein shall determine its value whether it is good or bad as the kohein determines its value for you, so shall it be.

(27,13) If he will indeed redeem it he shall add on one fifth to its valuation.

(27,14) If a man will consecrate his house as being sacred to Adonoy, the kohein shall determine its value, whether it is good or bad; as the kohein determines its value, so shall it be established.

(27,15) If he who consecrated [his house] wishes to redeem his house, he shall add one fifth to its valuation money in addition to [the valuation], and [then] it belongs to him.

(27,16) If from his ancestral field a man will consecrate to Adonoy its valuation shall be according to the measure of its seed; [at the rate of] one chomer of barley seed per fifty silver shekalim.

(27,17) If immediately after the jubilee year he consecrates his field it shall be established according to its vaulation.

(27,18) If after the jubilee he consecrates his field, then the kohein shall calculate the money [due] according to the remaining years until the jubilee year, and its valuation should be reduced accordingly.

(27,19) If he will [indeed] redeem the field, he who consecrated it, shall add one fifth to its monetary valuation, and it is then established as his.

(27,20) If he does not redeem the field and if he sells the field to another person, it shall not longer be redeemable.

(27,21) When the field is then released by the jubilee it becomes sacred to Adonoy, just as a field that was consecrated, it shall belong to the kohein, [as] his possession.

(27,22) If it is a field that he purchased, that is not his ancestral field, [that] he consecrates to Adonoy.

(27,23) The kohein will calculate for him the amount of its valuation until the jubilee year, and on that day he shall give its valuation as something sacred to Adonoy.

(27,24) In the jubilee year the field shall revert to him from whom it was purchased; to him whose ancestral land it is.

(27,25) All of your valuations shall be in holy shekalim; the shekel shall be twenty geirah.

(27,26) However, a firstling [animal] that is born first shall belong to Adonoy [as a sacrifice] from among the domestic animals; a man shall not consecrate it [for any other purpose] whether it is an ox or a lamb, it belongs to Adonoy.

(27,27) If it is of an unclean animal, he shall redeem it based on the valuation, and add a fifth to [that amount]. If it is not redeemed, it shall be sold according to the valuation.

(27,28) However, any dedication that a man will dedicate to Adonoy from any of his belongings be it people (slave), or animal, or of the field of his ancestral land, [none of these] can be sold or redeemed. Everything that is dedicated is most holy, unto Adonoy.

(27,29) Any dedication that a man will dedcate, regarding a man [due to be put to death] cannot be redeemed, he shall surely be put to death.

(27,30) All tithings of the land; whether of the seeds [crops] of the land or of the fruit of the tree, belongs to Adonoy, it is sacred to Adonoy.

(27,31) If a man wishes to redeem of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to [the amount].

(27,32) All tithes of cattle and sheep, anything that passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be sacred to Adonoy.

(27,33) He shall not make a distinction between better or worse [animals] and he shall not exchange it. If he exchanges one for another, then [both] it and its replacement shall be sacred and it cannot be redeemed.

(27,34) These are the commandments which Adonoy commanded Moshe for Bnei Yisroel on Mount Sinai. Chazak
