Sinai & The Law

And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children.

For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.

I am the Lord your God. You shall not make to yourselves any idol or graven thing: neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a remarkable stone in your land, to adore it. For I am the Lord your God.

Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, I will give you rain in due seasons.

And the ground shall bring forth its increase: and the trees shall be filled with fruit.

The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear.

I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword shall not pass through your quarters.

You shall pursue your enemies: and they shall fall before you.

Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others: and a hundred of you ten thousand. Your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

I will look on you, and make you increase: you shall be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.

You shall eat the oldest of the old store: and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old.

I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you: and my soul shall not cast you off.

But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments:

If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:

I also will do these things to you. I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.

I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies: and shall be made subject to them that hate you. You shall flee when no man pursueth you.

But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

And I will break the pride of your stubbornness: and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass.

Your labour shall be spent in vain: the ground shall not bring forth her increase: nor the trees yield their fruit.

If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins.

And I will send in upon you the beasts of the field, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number: and that your highways may be desolate.

And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:
