*** Leviticus09 ****
"Blessings promised by the Lord if his commandments are kept If you keep my commandments faithfully I will send you rain in its season. Your ground shall yield its crops and your fruit trees shall yield their fruit. You will still be eating of last year s harvest when you will need to move it out to make room for the new. You will live in peace and safety and the sword shall not pass through your land. I will remove savage beasts from the countryside. You will pursue your enemies and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred shall chase ten thousand. I will keep my covenant with you and shall make you fruitful and increase your numbers. I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be my people. I am Jehovah your"
"God who brought you out of slavery in Egypt and allowed you to walk with your heads high. Curses if the Lord s commandments are not kept But if you will not keep my commandments, and break my covenant I will do this to you: I will bring upon you wasting diseases that will dull your eyes and drain away your life. You shall plant seed in vain, for your enemies will eat of it. You shall be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you. You will flee, even when none pursue you. Curses seven times over if Israelites continue to disobey Lord If after all this you still will not obey me I shall punish your sins seven times over. I will break your stubborn pride and make the sky above you like iron and the ground beneath you like brass. Your soil shall not yield its crops"
"nor shall your trees bear fruit. I will send savage beasts against you to rob you of your children and destroy your cattle. You shall become so few in number that your roads will be deserted. I will bring the sword upon you, and when you retreat into your cities I shall send a plague among you, and you will be given over to the hands of your enemy. I shall so diminish your supply of bread that ten women will bake their meagre loaves in one oven. Curses a further seven times over if Israelites still remain hostile to Lord If in spite of this you still remain hostile toward me, then in my anger I will punish you for your sins a further seven times over. You will eat the flesh of your own children. I will destroy your idolatrous shrines and altars and shall heap your dead bodies upon them"
"and reject you. I shall lay waste your land and turn your cities into ruins so that even your enemies will be appalled. I will take no delight in the pleasing aroma of your offerings. I will scatter you among the nations and draw out my sword and pursue you. And I shall make the hearts of those who survive, so fearful in the lands of their enemies that the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. They shall flee as though from the sword, and fall over each another when none pursue them. They will die in the lands of their enemies because of their sins and the sins of their fathers. The promised land will enjoy the Sabbath years it did not have when the Israelites lived in it Then while you are exiled in the lands of your enemies, your land will enjoy its Sabbath years as it"
"lies empty. The rest it did not have during the Sabbaths when you lived in it. If exiled Israelites humble their hearts the Lord will remember his covenant But if you will humble your hearts and confess your sins and the sins of your fathers, and your treachery toward me, and make amends for your sins, I will again remember my covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I shall not reject you completely. I am Jehovah your God. These commandments were given to Moses on Mount Sinai These commandments the Lord gave to Moses on Mount Sinai."
