1אִם־בְּחֻקֹּתַי תֵּלֵכוּ וְאֶת־מִצְוֺתַי תִּשְׁמְרוּ וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָֽםIf you follow My laws and faithfully observe My commandments,

2וְנָתַתִּי גִשְׁמֵיכֶם בְּעִתָּם וְנָתְנָה הָאָרֶץ יְבוּלָהּ וְעֵץ הַשָּׂדֶה יִתֵּן פִּרְיֽוֹI will grant your rains in their season, so that the earth shall yield its produce and the trees of the field their fruit.

3וְהִשִּׂיג לָכֶם דַּיִשׁ אֶת־בָּצִיר וּבָצִיר יַשִּׂיג אֶת־זָרַע וַאֲכַלְתֶּם לַחְמְכֶם לָשֹׂבַע וִֽישַׁבְתֶּם לָבֶטַח בְּאַרְצְכֶֽםYour threshing shall overtake the vintage, and your vintage shall overtake the sowing; you shall eat your fill of bread and dwell securely in your land.

4וְנָתַתִּי שָׁלוֹם בָּאָרֶץ וּשְׁכַבְתֶּם וְאֵין מַחֲרִיד וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי חַיָּה רָעָה מִן־הָאָרֶץ וְחֶרֶב לֹא־תַעֲבֹר בְּאַרְצְכֶֽםI will grant peace in the land, and you shall lie down untroubled by anyone; I will give the land respite from vicious beasts, and no sword shall cross your land.

5וּרְדַפְתֶּם אֶת־אֹיְבֵיכֶם וְנָפְלוּ לִפְנֵיכֶם לֶחָֽרֶבYou shall give chase to your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

6וְרָדְפוּ מִכֶּם חֲמִשָּׁה מֵאָה וּמֵאָה מִכֶּם רְבָבָה יִרְדֹּפוּ וְנָפְלוּ אֹיְבֵיכֶם לִפְנֵיכֶם לֶחָֽרֶבFive of you shall give chase to a hundred, and a hundred of you shall give chase to ten thousand; your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

7וּפָנִיתִי אֲלֵיכֶם וְהִפְרֵיתִי אֶתְכֶם וְהִרְבֵּיתִי אֶתְכֶם וַהֲקִימֹתִי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אִתְּכֶֽםI will look with favor upon you, and make you fertile and multiply you; and I will maintain My covenant with you.

8וַאֲכַלְתֶּם יָשָׁן נוֹשָׁן וְיָשָׁן מִפְּנֵי חָדָשׁ תּוֹצִֽיאוּYou shall eat old grain long stored, and you shall have to clear out the old to make room for the new.

9וְנָתַתִּי מִשְׁכָּנִי בְּתוֹכְכֶם וְלֹֽא־תִגְעַל נַפְשִׁי אֶתְכֶֽםI will establish My abode in your midst, and I will not spurn you.

10וְהִתְהַלַּכְתִּי בְּתוֹכְכֶם וְהָיִיתִי לָכֶם לֵֽאלֹהִים וְאַתֶּם תִּהְיוּ־לִי לְעָֽםI will be ever present in your midst: I will be your God, and you shall be My people.

11אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם מִֽהְיֹת לָהֶם עֲבָדִים וָאֶשְׁבֹּר מֹטֹת עֻלְּכֶם וָאוֹלֵךְ אֶתְכֶם קֽוֹמְמִיּֽוּתI the ETERNAL am your God, who brought you out from the land of the Egyptians to be their slaves no more, who broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect.

12וְאִם־לֹא תִשְׁמְעוּ לִי וְלֹא תַעֲשׂוּ אֵת כׇּל־הַמִּצְוֺת הָאֵֽלֶּהBut if you do not obey Me and do not observe all these commandments,

13וְאִם־בְּחֻקֹּתַי תִּמְאָסוּ וְאִם אֶת־מִשְׁפָּטַי תִּגְעַל נַפְשְׁכֶם לְבִלְתִּי עֲשׂוֹת אֶת־כׇּל־מִצְוֺתַי לְהַפְרְכֶם אֶת־בְּרִיתִֽיif you reject My laws and spurn My rules, so that you do not observe all My commandments and you break My covenant,

14אַף־אֲנִי אֶֽעֱשֶׂה־זֹּאת לָכֶם וְהִפְקַדְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם בֶּֽהָלָה אֶת־הַשַּׁחֶפֶת וְאֶת־הַקַּדַּחַת מְכַלּוֹת עֵינַיִם וּמְדִיבֹת נָפֶשׁ וּזְרַעְתֶּם לָרִיק זַרְעֲכֶם וַאֲכָלֻהוּ אֹיְבֵיכֶֽםI in turn will do this to you: I will wreak misery upon you—consumption and fever, which cause the eyes to pine and the body to languish; you shall sow your seed to no purpose, for your enemies shall eat it.

15וְנָתַתִּי פָנַי בָּכֶם וְנִגַּפְתֶּם לִפְנֵי אֹיְבֵיכֶם וְרָדוּ בָכֶם שֹֽׂנְאֵיכֶם וְנַסְתֶּם וְאֵין־רֹדֵף אֶתְכֶֽםI will set My face against you: you shall be routed by your enemies, and your foes shall dominate you. You shall flee though none pursues.

16וְאִם־עַד־אֵלֶּה לֹא תִשְׁמְעוּ לִי וְיָסַפְתִּי לְיַסְּרָה אֶתְכֶם שֶׁבַע עַל־חַטֹּאתֵיכֶֽםAnd if, for all that, you do not obey Me, I will go on to discipline you sevenfold for your sins,

17וְשָׁבַרְתִּי אֶת־גְּאוֹן עֻזְּכֶם וְנָתַתִּי אֶת־שְׁמֵיכֶם כַּבַּרְזֶל וְאֶֽת־אַרְצְכֶם כַּנְּחֻשָֽׁהand I will break your proud glory. I will make your skies like iron and your earth like copper,

18וְתַם לָרִיק כֹּחֲכֶם וְלֹֽא־תִתֵּן אַרְצְכֶם אֶת־יְבוּלָהּ וְעֵץ הָאָרֶץ לֹא יִתֵּן פִּרְיֽוֹso that your strength shall be spent to no purpose. Your land shall not yield its produce, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

19וְאִם־תֵּֽלְכוּ עִמִּי קֶרִי וְלֹא תֹאבוּ לִשְׁמֹעַֽ לִי וְיָסַפְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם מַכָּה שֶׁבַע כְּחַטֹּאתֵיכֶֽםAnd if you remain hostile toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will go on smiting you sevenfold for your sins.

20וְהִשְׁלַחְתִּי בָכֶם אֶת־חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה וְשִׁכְּלָה אֶתְכֶם וְהִכְרִיתָה אֶת־בְּהֶמְתְּכֶם וְהִמְעִיטָה אֶתְכֶם וְנָשַׁמּוּ דַּרְכֵיכֶֽםI will loose wild beasts against you, and they shall bereave you of your children and wipe out your cattle. They shall decimate you, and your roads shall be deserted.

21וְאִם־בְּאֵלֶּה לֹא תִוָּסְרוּ לִי וַהֲלַכְתֶּם עִמִּי קֶֽרִיAnd if these things fail to discipline you for Me, and you remain hostile to Me,

22וְהָלַכְתִּי אַף־אֲנִי עִמָּכֶם בְּקֶרִי וְהִכֵּיתִי אֶתְכֶם גַּם־אָנִי שֶׁבַע עַל־חַטֹּאתֵיכֶֽםI too will remain hostile to you: I in turn will smite you sevenfold for your sins.

23וְהֵבֵאתִי עֲלֵיכֶם חֶרֶב נֹקֶמֶת נְקַם־בְּרִית וְנֶאֱסַפְתֶּם אֶל־עָרֵיכֶם וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי דֶבֶר בְּתוֹכְכֶם וְנִתַּתֶּם בְּיַד־אוֹיֵֽבI will bring a sword against you to wreak vengeance for the covenant; and if you withdraw into your cities, I will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into enemy hands.

24בְּשִׁבְרִי לָכֶם מַטֵּה־לֶחֶם וְאָפוּ עֶשֶׂר נָשִׁים לַחְמְכֶם בְּתַנּוּר אֶחָד וְהֵשִׁיבוּ לַחְמְכֶם בַּמִּשְׁקָל וַאֲכַלְתֶּם וְלֹא תִשְׂבָּֽעוּWhen I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in a single oven; they shall dole out your bread by weight, and though you eat, you shall not be satisfied.

25וְאִם־בְּזֹאת לֹא תִשְׁמְעוּ לִי וַהֲלַכְתֶּם עִמִּי בְּקֶֽרִיBut if, despite this, you disobey Me and remain hostile to Me,

26וְהָלַכְתִּי עִמָּכֶם בַּחֲמַת־קֶרִי וְיִסַּרְתִּי אֶתְכֶם אַף־אָנִי שֶׁבַע עַל־חַטֹּאתֵיכֶֽםI will act against you in wrathful hostility; I, for My part, will discipline you sevenfold for your sins.

27וַאֲכַלְתֶּם בְּשַׂר בְּנֵיכֶם וּבְשַׂר בְּנֹתֵיכֶם תֹּאכֵֽלוּYou shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.

28וְהִשְׁמַדְתִּי אֶת־בָּמֹֽתֵיכֶם וְהִכְרַתִּי אֶת־חַמָּנֵיכֶם וְנָֽתַתִּי אֶת־פִּגְרֵיכֶם עַל־פִּגְרֵי גִּלּוּלֵיכֶם וְגָעֲלָה נַפְשִׁי אֶתְכֶֽםI will destroy your cult places and cut down your incense stands, and I will heap your carcasses upon your lifeless fetishes. I will spurn you.

29וְנָתַתִּי אֶת־עָֽרֵיכֶם חׇרְבָּה וַהֲשִׁמּוֹתִי אֶת־מִקְדְּשֵׁיכֶם וְלֹא אָרִיחַ בְּרֵיחַ נִיחֹֽחֲכֶֽםI will lay your cities in ruin and make your sanctuaries desolate, and I will not savor your pleasing odors.

30וַהֲשִׁמֹּתִי אֲנִי אֶת־הָאָרֶץ וְשָֽׁמְמוּ עָלֶיהָ אֹֽיְבֵיכֶם הַיֹּשְׁבִים בָּֽהּI will make the land desolate, so that your enemies who settle in it shall be appalled by it.

31וְאֶתְכֶם אֱזָרֶה בַגּוֹיִם וַהֲרִיקֹתִי אַחֲרֵיכֶם חָרֶב וְהָיְתָה אַרְצְכֶם שְׁמָמָה וְעָרֵיכֶם יִהְיוּ חׇרְבָּֽהAnd you I will scatter among the nations, and I will unsheath the sword against you. Your land shall become a desolation and your cities a ruin.

32אָז תִּרְצֶה הָאָרֶץ אֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתֶיהָ כֹּל יְמֵי הׇשַּׁמָּהֿ וְאַתֶּם בְּאֶרֶץ אֹיְבֵיכֶם אָז תִּשְׁבַּת הָאָרֶץ וְהִרְצָת אֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתֶֽיהָThen shall the land make up for its sabbath years throughout the time that it is desolate and you are in the land of your enemies; then shall the land rest and make up for its sabbath years.

33כׇּל־יְמֵי הׇשַּׁמָּהֿ תִּשְׁבֹּת אֵת אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־שָׁבְתָה בְּשַׁבְּתֹתֵיכֶם בְּשִׁבְתְּכֶם עָלֶֽיהָThroughout the time that it is desolate, it shall observe the rest that it did not observe in your sabbath years while you were dwelling upon it.

34וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּכֶם וְהֵבֵאתִי מֹרֶךְ בִּלְבָבָם בְּאַרְצֹת אֹיְבֵיהֶם וְרָדַף אֹתָם קוֹל עָלֶה נִדָּף וְנָסוּ מְנֻֽסַת־חֶרֶב וְנָפְלוּ וְאֵין רֹדֵֽףAs for those of you who survive, I will cast a faintness into their hearts in the land of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf shall put them to flight. Fleeing as though from the sword, they shall fall though none pursues.

35וְכָשְׁלוּ אִישׁ־בְּאָחִיו כְּמִפְּנֵי־חֶרֶב וְרֹדֵף אָיִן וְלֹא־תִֽהְיֶה לָכֶם תְּקוּמָה לִפְנֵי אֹֽיְבֵיכֶֽםWith no one pursuing, they shall stumble over one another as before the sword. You shall not be able to stand your ground before your enemies,

36וַאֲבַדְתֶּם בַּגּוֹיִם וְאָכְלָה אֶתְכֶם אֶרֶץ אֹיְבֵיכֶֽםbut shall perish among the nations; and the land of your enemies shall consume you.

37וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּכֶם יִמַּקּוּ בַּֽעֲוֺנָם בְּאַרְצֹת אֹיְבֵיכֶם וְאַף בַּעֲוֺנֹת אֲבֹתָם אִתָּם יִמָּֽקּוּThose of you who survive shall be heartsick over their iniquity in the land of your enemies; more, they shall be heartsick over the iniquities of their forebears;

38וְהִתְוַדּוּ אֶת־עֲוֺנָם וְאֶת־עֲוֺן אֲבֹתָם בְּמַעֲלָם אֲשֶׁר מָֽעֲלוּ־בִי וְאַף אֲשֶׁר־הָֽלְכוּ עִמִּי בְּקֶֽרִיand they shall confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their forebears, in that they trespassed against Me, yea, were hostile to Me.

39אַף־אֲנִי אֵלֵךְ עִמָּם בְּקֶרִי וְהֵבֵאתִי אֹתָם בְּאֶרֶץ אֹיְבֵיהֶם אוֹ־אָז יִכָּנַע לְבָבָם הֶֽעָרֵל וְאָז יִרְצוּ אֶת־עֲוֺנָֽםWhen I, in turn, have been hostile to them and have removed them into the land of their enemies, then at last shall their obdurate heart humble itself, and they shall atone for their iniquity.

40וְזָכַרְתִּי אֶת־בְּרִיתִי יַעֲקוֹב וְאַף אֶת־בְּרִיתִי יִצְחָק וְאַף אֶת־בְּרִיתִי אַבְרָהָם אֶזְכֹּר וְהָאָרֶץ אֶזְכֹּֽרThen will I remember My covenant with Jacob; I will remember also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land.

42וְאַף־גַּם־זֹאת בִּֽהְיוֹתָם בְּאֶרֶץ אֹֽיְבֵיהֶם לֹֽא־מְאַסְתִּים וְלֹֽא־גְעַלְתִּים לְכַלֹּתָם לְהָפֵר בְּרִיתִי אִתָּם כִּי אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽםYet, even then, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them or spurn them so as to destroy them, annulling My covenant with them: for I the ETERNAL am their God.

43וְזָכַרְתִּי לָהֶם בְּרִית רִאשֹׁנִים אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵֽאתִי־אֹתָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לְעֵינֵי הַגּוֹיִם לִהְיוֹת לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִים אֲנִי יְהֹוָֽהI will remember in their favor the covenant with the ancients, whom I freed from the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations to be their God: I, the ETERNAL.

44אֵלֶּה הַֽחֻקִּים וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִים וְהַתּוֹרֹת אֲשֶׁר נָתַן יְהֹוָה בֵּינוֹ וּבֵין בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּהַר סִינַי בְּיַד־מֹשֶֽׁהThese are the laws, rules, and instructions that GOD established, through Moses on Mount Sinai, with the Israelite people.

45וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽרGOD spoke to Moses, saying:

76וְכׇל־מַעְשַׂר בָּקָר וָצֹאן כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲבֹר תַּחַת הַשָּׁבֶט הָֽעֲשִׂירִי יִֽהְיֶה־קֹּדֶשׁ לַֽיהֹוָֽהAll tithes of the herd or flock—of all that passes under the shepherd’s staff, every tenth one—shall be holy to GOD.

77לֹא יְבַקֵּר בֵּֽין־טוֹב לָרַע וְלֹא יְמִירֶנּוּ וְאִם־הָמֵר יְמִירֶנּוּ וְהָֽיָה־הוּא וּתְמוּרָתוֹ יִֽהְיֶה־קֹּדֶשׁ לֹא יִגָּאֵֽלOne must not look out for good as against bad, or make substitution for it. If one does make substitution for it, then it and its substitute shall both be holy: it cannot be redeemed.

78אֵלֶּה הַמִּצְוֺת אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָה אֶת־מֹשֶׁה אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּהַר סִינָֽיThese are the commandments that GOD gave Moses for the Israelite people on Mount Sinai.

1יְהֹוָה עֻזִּי וּמָעֻזִּי וּמְנוּסִי בְּיוֹם צָרָה אֵלֶיךָ גּוֹיִם יָבֹאוּ מֵֽאַפְסֵי־אָרֶץ וְיֹאמְרוּ אַךְ־שֶׁקֶר נָחֲלוּ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ הֶבֶל וְאֵֽין־בָּם מוֹעִֽילO ETERNAL One, my strength and my stronghold, My refuge in a day of trouble, To You nations shall come From the ends of the earth and say: Our ancestors inherited utter delusions, Things that are futile and worthless.

2הֲיַעֲשֶׂה־לּוֹ אָדָם אֱלֹהִים וְהֵמָּה לֹא אֱלֹהִֽיםCan mortals make gods for themselves? No-gods are they!

3לָכֵן הִנְנִי מֽוֹדִיעָם בַּפַּעַם הַזֹּאת אוֹדִיעֵם אֶת־יָדִי וְאֶת־גְּבוּרָתִי וְיָדְעוּ כִּֽי־שְׁמִי יְהֹוָֽהAssuredly, I will teach them, Once and for all I will teach them My power and My might. And they shall learn that My name is GOD.

4חַטַּאת יְהוּדָה כְּתוּבָה בְּעֵט בַּרְזֶל בְּצִפֹּרֶן שָׁמִיר חֲרוּשָׁה עַל־לוּחַ לִבָּם וּלְקַרְנוֹת מִזְבְּחוֹתֵיכֶֽםThe guilt of Judah is inscribed With a stylus of iron, Engraved with an adamant point On the tablet of their hearts, And on the horns of their altars,

5כִּזְכֹּר בְּנֵיהֶם מִזְבְּחוֹתָם וַאֲשֵׁרֵיהֶם עַל־עֵץ רַעֲנָן עַל גְּבָעוֹת הַגְּבֹהֽוֹתWhile their children remember Their altars and sacred posts, By verdant trees, Upon lofty hills.

6הֲרָרִי בַּשָּׂדֶה חֵילְךָ כׇל־אוֹצְרוֹתֶיךָ לָבַז אֶתֵּן בָּמֹתֶיךָ בְּחַטָּאת בְּכׇל־גְּבוּלֶֽיךָBecause of the sin of your shrines Throughout your borders, I will make your rampart a heap in the field, And all your treasures a spoil.

7וְשָׁמַטְתָּה וּבְךָ מִנַּחֲלָֽתְךָ אֲשֶׁר נָתַתִּי לָךְ וְהַעֲבַדְתִּיךָ אֶת־אֹיְבֶיךָ בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָדָעְתָּ כִּֽי־אֵשׁ קְדַחְתֶּם בְּאַפִּי עַד־עוֹלָם תּוּקָֽדYou will forfeit, by your own act, The inheritance I have given you; I will make you a slave to your enemies In a land you have never known. For you have kindled the flame of My wrath That shall burn for all time.

8כֹּה אָמַר יְהֹוָה אָרוּר הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בָּאָדָם וְשָׂם בָּשָׂר זְרֹעוֹ וּמִן־יְהֹוָה יָסוּר לִבּֽוֹThus said GOD: Cursed is the man who trusts in mortals, Who makes mere flesh his strength, And turns his thoughts from GOD.

9וְהָיָה כְּעַרְעָר בָּעֲרָבָה וְלֹא יִרְאֶה כִּֽי־יָבוֹא טוֹב וְשָׁכַן חֲרֵרִים בַּמִּדְבָּר אֶרֶץ מְלֵחָה וְלֹא תֵשֵֽׁבHe shall be like a bush in the desert, Which does not sense the coming of good: It is set in the scorched places of the wilderness, In a barren land without inhabitant.

10בָּרוּךְ הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר יִבְטַח בַּיהֹוָה וְהָיָה יְהֹוָה מִבְטַחֽוֹBlessed is the man who trusts in GOD, Whose trust is GOD alone.

11וְהָיָה כְּעֵץ שָׁתוּל עַל־מַיִם וְעַל־יוּבַל יְשַׁלַּח שׇׁרָשָׁיו וְלֹא (ירא) [יִרְאֶה] כִּי־יָבֹא חֹם וְהָיָה עָלֵהוּ רַעֲנָן וּבִשְׁנַת בַּצֹּרֶת לֹא יִדְאָג וְלֹא יָמִישׁ מֵעֲשׂוֹת פֶּֽרִיHe shall be like a tree planted by waters, Sending forth its roots by a stream: It does not sense the coming of heat, Its leaves are ever fresh; It has no care in a year of drought, It does not cease to yield fruit.

12עָקֹב הַלֵּב מִכֹּל וְאָנֻשׁ הוּא מִי יֵדָעֶֽנּוּMost devious is the heart; It is perverse—who can fathom it?

13אֲנִי יְהֹוָה חֹקֵר לֵב בֹּחֵן כְּלָיוֹת וְלָתֵת לְאִישׁ כִּדְרָכָו כִּפְרִי מַעֲלָלָֽיוI GOD probe the heart, Search the mind— To repay each person according to their own ways, With the proper fruit of their deeds.

14קֹרֵא דָגַר וְלֹא יָלָד עֹשֶׂה עֹשֶׁר וְלֹא בְמִשְׁפָּט בַּחֲצִי יָמָו יַעַזְבֶנּוּ וּבְאַחֲרִיתוֹ יִהְיֶה נָבָֽלLike a partridge hatching what she did not lay So are those who amass wealth by unjust means; In mid-life it will leave them, And in the end they will be proved fools.

15כִּסֵּא כָבוֹד מָרוֹם מֵרִאשׁוֹן מְקוֹם מִקְדָּשֵֽׁנוּO Throne of Glory exalted from of old, Our Sacred Shrine!

16מִקְוֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהֹוָה כׇּל־עֹזְבֶיךָ יֵבֹשׁוּ (יסורי) [וְסוּרַי] בָּאָרֶץ יִכָּתֵבוּ כִּי עָזְבוּ מְקוֹר מַֽיִם־חַיִּים אֶת־יְהֹוָֽהO Hope of Israel! O ETERNAL One! All who forsake You shall be put to shame, Those in the land who turn from You Shall be doomed, For they have forsaken GOD, The Fount of living waters.

17רְפָאֵנִי יְהֹוָה וְאֵרָפֵא הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי וְאִוָּשֵׁעָה כִּי תְהִלָּתִי אָֽתָּהHeal me, O ETERNAL One, and let me be healed; Save me, and let me be saved; For You are my glory.
