Torah Trek 92 "But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee"

Torah Trek 92 6/29/2017 Leviticus 27

יח  וְאִם-אַחַר הַיֹּבֵל, יַקְדִּישׁ שָׂדֵהוּ--וְחִשַּׁב-לוֹ הַכֹּהֵן אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף עַל-פִּי הַשָּׁנִים הַנּוֹתָרֹת, עַד שְׁנַת הַיֹּבֵל; וְנִגְרַע, מֵעֶרְכֶּךָ.    18 
But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain unto the year of jubilee, and an abatement shall be made from thy valuation.

יט  וְאִם-גָּאֹל יִגְאַל אֶת-הַשָּׂדֶה, הַמַּקְדִּישׁ אֹתוֹ:  וְיָסַף חֲמִשִׁית כֶּסֶף-עֶרְכְּךָ, עָלָיו--וְקָם לוֹ.    19 
And if he that sanctified the field will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.

כ  וְאִם-לֹא יִגְאַל אֶת-הַשָּׂדֶה, וְאִם-מָכַר אֶת-הַשָּׂדֶה לְאִישׁ אַחֵר--לֹא יִגָּאֵל, עוֹד.    20 
And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.

כא  וְהָיָה הַשָּׂדֶה בְּצֵאתוֹ בַיֹּבֵל, קֹדֶשׁ לַיהוָה--כִּשְׂדֵה הַחֵרֶם:  לַכֹּהֵן, תִּהְיֶה אֲחֻזָּתוֹ.    21 
But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; 
the possession thereof shall be the priest's.

כב  וְאִם, אֶת-שְׂדֵה מִקְנָתוֹ, אֲשֶׁר, לֹא מִשְּׂדֵה אֲחֻזָּתוֹ--יַקְדִּישׁ, לַיהוָה.    22 
And if he sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the field of his possession;

כג  וְחִשַּׁב-לוֹ הַכֹּהֵן, אֵת מִכְסַת הָעֶרְכְּךָ, עַד, שְׁנַת הַיֹּבֵל; וְנָתַן אֶת-הָעֶרְכְּךָ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, קֹדֶשׁ לַיהוָה.    23 
then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy valuation unto the year of jubilee; 
and he shall give thy valuation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.

כד  בִּשְׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל יָשׁוּב הַשָּׂדֶה, לַאֲשֶׁר קָנָהוּ מֵאִתּוֹ--לַאֲשֶׁר-לוֹ, אֲחֻזַּת הָאָרֶץ.    24 
In the year of jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land belongeth.

כה  וְכָל-עֶרְכְּךָ--יִהְיֶה, בְּשֶׁקֶל הַקֹּדֶשׁ:  עֶשְׂרִים גֵּרָה, יִהְיֶה הַשָּׁקֶל.    25 
And all thy valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; 
twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.

כו  אַךְ-בְּכוֹר אֲשֶׁר-יְבֻכַּר לַיהוָה, בִּבְהֵמָה--לֹא-יַקְדִּישׁ אִישׁ, אֹתוֹ:  אִם-שׁוֹר אִם-שֶׂה, לַיהוָה הוּא.    26 
Howbeit the firstling among beasts, which is born as a firstling to the LORD, no man shall sanctify it; 
whether it be ox or sheep, it is the LORD'S.

כז  וְאִם בַּבְּהֵמָה הַטְּמֵאָה וּפָדָה בְעֶרְכֶּךָ, וְיָסַף חֲמִשִׁתוֹ עָלָיו; וְאִם-לֹא יִגָּאֵל, וְנִמְכַּר בְּעֶרְכֶּךָ.    27 
And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall ransom it according to thy valuation, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof; 
or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy valuation.

כח  אַךְ-כָּל-חֵרֶם אֲשֶׁר יַחֲרִם אִישׁ לַיהוָה מִכָּל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ, מֵאָדָם וּבְהֵמָה וּמִשְּׂדֵה אֲחֻזָּתוֹ--לֹא יִמָּכֵר, וְלֹא יִגָּאֵל:  כָּל-חֵרֶם, קֹדֶשׁ-קָדָשִׁים הוּא לַיהוָה.    28 
Notwithstanding, no devoted thing, that a man may devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, whether of man or beast, or of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; 
every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.

כט  כָּל-חֵרֶם, אֲשֶׁר יָחֳרַם מִן-הָאָדָם--לֹא יִפָּדֶה:
מוֹת, יוּמָת.    
29 None devoted, that may be devoted of men, shall be ransomed; 
he shall surely be put to death.

ל  וְכָל-מַעְשַׂר הָאָרֶץ מִזֶּרַע הָאָרֶץ, מִפְּרִי הָעֵץ--לַיהוָה, 
הוּא:  קֹדֶשׁ, לַיהוָה.    30 
And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S; 
it is holy unto the LORD.

לא  וְאִם-גָּאֹל יִגְאַל אִישׁ, מִמַּעַשְׂרוֹ--חֲמִשִׁיתוֹ, יֹסֵף עָלָיו.    31 
And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof.

לב  וְכָל-מַעְשַׂר בָּקָר וָצֹאן, כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-יַעֲבֹר תַּחַת הַשָּׁבֶט--הָעֲשִׂירִי, יִהְיֶה-קֹּדֶשׁ לַיהוָה.    32 
And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.

לג  לֹא יְבַקֵּר בֵּין-טוֹב לָרַע, וְלֹא יְמִירֶנּוּ; וְאִם-הָמֵר יְמִירֶנּוּ, וְהָיָה-הוּא וּתְמוּרָתוֹ יִהְיֶה-קֹּדֶשׁ לֹא יִגָּאֵל.    33 
He shall not inquire whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it; 
and if he change it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; 
it shall not be redeemed.

לד  אֵלֶּה הַמִּצְו‍ֹת, אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת-מֹשֶׁה--אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל:  בְּהַר, סִינָי.  {ש}    34

6/28/17

Torah Trek 91

Chapter 27 Leviticus

א  וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה, אֶל-מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר.    1 

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

ב  דַּבֵּר אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם, אִישׁ, כִּי יַפְלִא נֶדֶר--בְּעֶרְכְּךָ נְפָשֹׁת, לַיהוָה.    2 

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and say unto them: 

When a man shall clearly utter a vow of persons unto the Eternal, according to thy valuation,

ג  וְהָיָה עֶרְכְּךָ, הַזָּכָר, מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה, וְעַד בֶּן-שִׁשִּׁים שָׁנָה:  וְהָיָה עֶרְכְּךָ, חֲמִשִּׁים שֶׁקֶל כֶּסֶף--בְּשֶׁקֶל הַקֹּדֶשׁ.    3 

then thy valuation shall be for the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

ד  וְאִם-נְקֵבָה, הִוא--וְהָיָה עֶרְכְּךָ, שְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁקֶל.    4 

And if it be a female, then thy valuation shall be thirty shekels.

ה  וְאִם מִבֶּן-חָמֵשׁ שָׁנִים, וְעַד בֶּן-עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה--וְהָיָה עֶרְכְּךָ הַזָּכָר, עֶשְׂרִים שְׁקָלִים; וְלַנְּקֵבָה, עֲשֶׂרֶת שְׁקָלִים.    5 

And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy valuation shall be for the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

ו  וְאִם מִבֶּן-חֹדֶשׁ, וְעַד בֶּן-חָמֵשׁ שָׁנִים--וְהָיָה עֶרְכְּךָ הַזָּכָר, חֲמִשָּׁה שְׁקָלִים כָּסֶף; וְלַנְּקֵבָה עֶרְכְּךָ, שְׁלֹשֶׁת שְׁקָלִים כָּסֶף.    6 

And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy valuation shall be for the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

ז  וְאִם מִבֶּן-שִׁשִּׁים שָׁנָה וָמַעְלָה, אִם-זָכָר--וְהָיָה עֶרְכְּךָ, חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר שָׁקֶל; וְלַנְּקֵבָה, עֲשָׂרָה שְׁקָלִים.    7 And if it be from sixty years old and upward: if it be a male, then thy valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

ח  וְאִם-מָךְ הוּא, מֵעֶרְכֶּךָ--וְהֶעֱמִידוֹ לִפְנֵי הַכֹּהֵן, וְהֶעֱרִיךְ אֹתוֹ הַכֹּהֵן:  עַל-פִּי, אֲשֶׁר תַּשִּׂיג יַד הַנֹּדֵר--יַעֲרִיכֶנּוּ, הַכֹּהֵן.  {ס}    8 

But if he be too poor for thy valuation, then he shall be set before the priest, and the priest shall value him; 

according to the means of him that vowed shall the priest value him. {S}

ט  וְאִם-בְּהֵמָה--אֲשֶׁר יַקְרִיבוּ מִמֶּנָּה קָרְבָּן, לַיהוָה:  כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יִתֵּן מִמֶּנּוּ לַיהוָה, יִהְיֶה-קֹּדֶשׁ.    9 

And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.

י  לֹא יַחֲלִיפֶנּוּ, וְלֹא-יָמִיר אֹתוֹ טוֹב בְּרָע--אוֹ-רַע בְּטוֹב; וְאִם-הָמֵר יָמִיר בְּהֵמָה בִּבְהֵמָה, וְהָיָה-הוּא וּתְמוּרָתוֹ יִהְיֶה-קֹּדֶשׁ.    10 

He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; 

and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy.

יא  וְאִם, כָּל-בְּהֵמָה טְמֵאָה, אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יַקְרִיבוּ מִמֶּנָּה קָרְבָּן, לַיהוָה--וְהֶעֱמִיד אֶת-הַבְּהֵמָה, לִפְנֵי הַכֹּהֵן.    11 

And if it be any unclean beast, of which they may not bring an offering unto the LORD, then he shall set the beast before the priest.

יב  וְהֶעֱרִיךְ הַכֹּהֵן אֹתָהּ, בֵּין טוֹב וּבֵין רָע:  כְּעֶרְכְּךָ הַכֹּהֵן, כֵּן יִהְיֶה.    12 

And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; 

as thou the priest valuest it, so shall it be.

יג  וְאִם-גָּאֹל, יִגְאָלֶנָּה--וְיָסַף חֲמִישִׁתוֹ, עַל-עֶרְכֶּךָ.    13 

But if he will indeed redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part thereof unto thy valuation.

יד  וְאִישׁ, כִּי-יַקְדִּשׁ אֶת-בֵּיתוֹ קֹדֶשׁ לַיהוָה--וְהֶעֱרִיכוֹ הַכֹּהֵן, בֵּין טוֹב וּבֵין רָע:  כַּאֲשֶׁר יַעֲרִיךְ אֹתוֹ הַכֹּהֵן, כֵּן יָקוּם.    14 

And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad; 

as the priest shall value it, so shall it stand.

טו  וְאִם-הַמַּקְדִּישׁ--יִגְאַל, אֶת-בֵּיתוֹ:  וְיָסַף חֲמִישִׁית כֶּסֶף-עֶרְכְּךָ, עָלָיו--וְהָיָה לוֹ.    15 

And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy valuation unto it, and it shall be his.

טז  וְאִם מִשְּׂדֵה אֲחֻזָּתוֹ, יַקְדִּישׁ אִישׁ לַיהוָה--וְהָיָה עֶרְכְּךָ, לְפִי זַרְעוֹ:  זֶרַע חֹמֶר שְׂעֹרִים, בַּחֲמִשִּׁים שֶׁקֶל כָּסֶף.    16 

And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD part of the field of his possession, then thy valuation shall be according to the sowing thereof; 

the sowing of a homer of barley shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

יז  אִם-מִשְּׁנַת הַיֹּבֵל, יַקְדִּישׁ שָׂדֵהוּ--כְּעֶרְכְּךָ, יָקוּם.    17 

If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee, according to thy valuation it shall stand.

And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; 

and My soul shall abhor you.

לא  וְנָתַתִּי אֶת-עָרֵיכֶם חָרְבָּה, וַהֲשִׁמּוֹתִי אֶת-מִקְדְּשֵׁיכֶם; וְלֹא אָרִיחַ, בְּרֵיחַ נִיחֹחֲכֶם.    31 

And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

לב  וַהֲשִׁמֹּתִי אֲנִי, אֶת-הָאָרֶץ; וְשָׁמְמוּ עָלֶיהָ אֹיְבֵיכֶם, הַיֹּשְׁבִים בָּהּ.    32 

And I will bring the land into desolation; 

and your enemies that dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

לג  וְאֶתְכֶם אֱזָרֶה בַגּוֹיִם, וַהֲרִיקֹתִי אַחֲרֵיכֶם חָרֶב; וְהָיְתָה אַרְצְכֶם שְׁמָמָה, וְעָרֵיכֶם יִהְיוּ חָרְבָּה.    33 

And you will I scatter among the goyim, and I will draw out the sword after you; 

and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

לד  אָז תִּרְצֶה הָאָרֶץ אֶת-שַׁבְּתֹתֶיהָ, כֹּל יְמֵי הָשַּׁמָּה, וְאַתֶּם, בְּאֶרֶץ אֹיְבֵיכֶם; אָז תִּשְׁבַּת הָאָרֶץ, וְהִרְצָת אֶת-שַׁבְּתֹתֶיהָ.    34 

Then shall the land be paid her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye are in your enemies' land; 

even then shall the land rest, and repay her sabbaths.

לה  כָּל-יְמֵי הָשַּׁמָּה, תִּשְׁבֹּת, אֵת אֲשֶׁר לֹא-שָׁבְתָה בְּשַׁבְּתֹתֵיכֶם, בְּשִׁבְתְּכֶם עָלֶיהָ.    35 

As long as it lieth desolate it shall have rest; 

even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

לו  וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּכֶם--וְהֵבֵאתִי מֹרֶךְ בִּלְבָבָם, בְּאַרְצֹת אֹיְבֵיהֶם; וְרָדַף אֹתָם, קוֹל עָלֶה נִדָּף, וְנָסוּ מְנֻסַת-חֶרֶב וְנָפְלוּ, וְאֵין רֹדֵף.    36 

And as for them that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies; 

and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; 

and they shall flee, as one fleeth from the sword; 

and they shall fall when none pursueth.

לז  וְכָשְׁלוּ אִישׁ-בְּאָחִיו כְּמִפְּנֵי-חֶרֶב, וְרֹדֵף אָיִן; וְלֹא-תִהְיֶה לָכֶם תְּקוּמָה, לִפְנֵי אֹיְבֵיכֶם.    37 

And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth; 

and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

לח  וַאֲבַדְתֶּם, בַּגּוֹיִם; וְאָכְלָה אֶתְכֶם, אֶרֶץ אֹיְבֵיכֶם.    38 

And ye shall perish among the goyim, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

לט  וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּכֶם, יִמַּקּוּ בַּעֲו‍ֹנָם, בְּאַרְצֹת, אֹיְבֵיכֶם; וְאַף בַּעֲו‍ֹנֹת אֲבֹתָם, אִתָּם יִמָּקּוּ.    39 

And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; 

and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

מ  וְהִתְוַדּוּ אֶת-עֲו‍ֹנָם וְאֶת-עֲו‍ֹן אֲבֹתָם, בְּמַעֲלָם אֲשֶׁר מָעֲלוּ-בִי, וְאַף, אֲשֶׁר-הָלְכוּ עִמִּי בְּקֶרִי.    40 

And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their treachery which they committed against Me, and also that they have walked contrary unto Me.

מא  אַף-אֲנִי, אֵלֵךְ עִמָּם בְּקֶרִי, וְהֵבֵאתִי אֹתָם, בְּאֶרֶץ אֹיְבֵיהֶם; אוֹ-אָז יִכָּנַע, לְבָבָם הֶעָרֵל, וְאָז, יִרְצוּ אֶת-עֲו‍ֹנָם.    41 

I also will walk contrary unto them, and bring them into the land of their enemies; 

if then perchance their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then be paid the punishment of their iniquity;

מב  וְזָכַרְתִּי, אֶת-בְּרִיתִי יַעֲקוֹב; וְאַף אֶת-בְּרִיתִי יִצְחָק וְאַף אֶת-בְּרִיתִי אַבְרָהָם, אֶזְכֹּר--וְהָאָרֶץ אֶזְכֹּר.    42 

then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; 

and I will remember the land.

מג  וְהָאָרֶץ תֵּעָזֵב מֵהֶם וְתִרֶץ אֶת-שַׁבְּתֹתֶיהָ, בָּהְשַׁמָּה מֵהֶם, וְהֵם, יִרְצוּ אֶת-עֲו‍ֹנָם; יַעַן וּבְיַעַן--בְּמִשְׁפָּטַי מָאָסוּ, וְאֶת-חֻקֹּתַי גָּעֲלָה נַפְשָׁם.    43 

For the land shall lie forsaken without them, and shall be paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them; 

and they shall be paid the punishment of their iniquity; 

because, even because they rejected Mine ordinances, and their soul abhorred My statutes.

מד  וְאַף-גַּם-זֹאת בִּהְיוֹתָם בְּאֶרֶץ אֹיְבֵיהֶם, לֹא-מְאַסְתִּים וְלֹא-גְעַלְתִּים לְכַלֹּתָם--לְהָפֵר בְּרִיתִי, אִתָּם:  כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה, אֱלֹהֵיהֶם.    44 

And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My covenant with them; 

for I am the LORD their God.

מה  וְזָכַרְתִּי לָהֶם, בְּרִית רִאשֹׁנִים:  אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵאתִי-אֹתָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לְעֵינֵי הַגּוֹיִם, לִהְיוֹת לָהֶם לֵאלֹהִים--אֲנִי יְהוָה.    45 

But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the goyim, that I might be their God: 

I am the LORD.

מו  אֵלֶּה הַחֻקִּים וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִים, וְהַתּוֹרֹת, אֲשֶׁר נָתַן יְהוָה, בֵּינוֹ וּבֵין בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל--בְּהַר סִינַי, בְּיַד-מֹשֶׁה.  {פ}    46 

These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which the LORD made between Him and the sons of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses. {P}

Torah Trek 89 "I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you go upright"

Leviticus 26
Torah 89 6/26/17
The curses of the broken covenant are only for GOD's people. But alone those who refuse to repent, will suffer.

יג  אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם, אֲשֶׁר הוֹצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם, מִהְיֹת לָהֶם, עֲבָדִים; וָאֶשְׁבֹּר מֹטֹת עֻלְּכֶם, וָאוֹלֵךְ אֶתְכֶם קוֹמְמִיּוּת.  {פ}    13 
I am the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; 
and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright. {P}

יד  וְאִם-לֹא תִשְׁמְעוּ, לִי; וְלֹא תַעֲשׂוּ, אֵת כָּל-הַמִּצְו‍ֹת הָאֵלֶּה.    14 
But if ye will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these commandments;

טו  וְאִם-בְּחֻקֹּתַי תִּמְאָסוּ, וְאִם אֶת-מִשְׁפָּטַי תִּגְעַל נַפְשְׁכֶם, לְבִלְתִּי עֲשׂוֹת אֶת-כָּל-מִצְו‍ֹתַי, לְהַפְרְכֶם אֶת-בְּרִיתִי.    15 
and if ye shall reject My statutes, and if your soul abhor Mine ordinances, so that ye will not do all My commandments, but break My covenant;

טז  אַף-אֲנִי אֶעֱשֶׂה-זֹּאת לָכֶם, וְהִפְקַדְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם בֶּהָלָה אֶת-הַשַּׁחֶפֶת וְאֶת-הַקַּדַּחַת, מְכַלּוֹת עֵינַיִם, וּמְדִיבֹת נָפֶשׁ; וּזְרַעְתֶּם לָרִיק זַרְעֲכֶם, וַאֲכָלֻהוּ אֹיְבֵיכֶם.    16 
I also will do this unto you: 
I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall make the eyes to fail, and the soul to languish; 
and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

יז  וְנָתַתִּי פָנַי בָּכֶם, וְנִגַּפְתֶּם לִפְנֵי אֹיְבֵיכֶם; וְרָדוּ בָכֶם שֹׂנְאֵיכֶם, וְנַסְתֶּם וְאֵין-רֹדֵף אֶתְכֶם.    17 
And I will set My face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies; 
they that hate you shall rule over you; 
and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

יח  וְאִם-עַד-אֵלֶּה--לֹא תִשְׁמְעוּ, לִי:  וְיָסַפְתִּי לְיַסְּרָה אֶתְכֶם, שֶׁבַע עַל-חַטֹּאתֵיכֶם.    18 
And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto Me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

יט  וְשָׁבַרְתִּי, אֶת-גְּאוֹן עֻזְּכֶם; וְנָתַתִּי אֶת-שְׁמֵיכֶם כַּבַּרְזֶל, וְאֶת-אַרְצְכֶם כַּנְּחֻשָׁה.    19 
And I will break the pride of your power; 
and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass.

כ  וְתַם לָרִיק, כֹּחֲכֶם; וְלֹא-תִתֵּן אַרְצְכֶם, אֶת-יְבוּלָהּ, וְעֵץ הָאָרֶץ, לֹא יִתֵּן פִּרְיוֹ.    20 
And your strength shall be spent in vain; 
for your land shall not yield her produce, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

כא  וְאִם-תֵּלְכוּ עִמִּי קֶרִי, וְלֹא תֹאבוּ לִשְׁמֹעַ לִי--וְיָסַפְתִּי עֲלֵיכֶם מַכָּה, שֶׁבַע כְּחַטֹּאתֵיכֶם.    21 
And if ye walk contrary unto Me, and will not hearken unto Me; 
I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

כב  וְהִשְׁלַחְתִּי בָכֶם אֶת-חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה, וְשִׁכְּלָה אֶתְכֶם, וְהִכְרִיתָה אֶת-בְּהֶמְתְּכֶם, וְהִמְעִיטָה אֶתְכֶם; וְנָשַׁמּוּ, דַּרְכֵיכֶם.    22 
And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; 
and your ways shall become desolate.

כג  וְאִם-בְּאֵלֶּה--לֹא תִוָּסְרוּ, לִי; וַהֲלַכְתֶּם עִמִּי, קֶרִי.    23 
And if in spite of these things ye will not be corrected unto Me, but will walk contrary unto Me;

כד  וְהָלַכְתִּי אַף-אֲנִי עִמָּכֶם, בְּקֶרִי; וְהִכֵּיתִי אֶתְכֶם גַּם-אָנִי, שֶׁבַע עַל-חַטֹּאתֵיכֶם.    24 
then will I also walk contrary unto you; 
and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins.

כה  וְהֵבֵאתִי עֲלֵיכֶם חֶרֶב, נֹקֶמֶת נְקַם-בְּרִית, וְנֶאֱסַפְתֶּם, אֶל-עָרֵיכֶם; וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי דֶבֶר בְּתוֹכְכֶם, וְנִתַּתֶּם בְּיַד-אוֹיֵב.    25 
And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; 
and ye shall be gathered together within your cities; 
and I will send the pestilence among you; 
and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

כו  בְּשִׁבְרִי לָכֶם, מַטֵּה-לֶחֶם, וְאָפוּ עֶשֶׂר נָשִׁים לַחְמְכֶם בְּתַנּוּר אֶחָד, וְהֵשִׁיבוּ לַחְמְכֶם בַּמִּשְׁקָל; וַאֲכַלְתֶּם, וְלֹא תִשְׂבָּעוּ.  {ס}    26 
When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; 
and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied. {S}

כז  וְאִם-בְּזֹאת--לֹא תִשְׁמְעוּ, לִי; וַהֲלַכְתֶּם עִמִּי, בְּקֶרִי.    27 
And if ye will not for all this hearken unto Me, but walk contrary unto Me;

כח  וְהָלַכְתִּי עִמָּכֶם, בַּחֲמַת-קֶרִי; וְיִסַּרְתִּי אֶתְכֶם אַף-אָנִי, שֶׁבַע עַל-חַטֹּאתֵיכֶם.    28 
then I will walk contrary unto you in fury; 
and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

כט  וַאֲכַלְתֶּם, בְּשַׂר בְּנֵיכֶם; וּבְשַׂר בְּנֹתֵיכֶם, תֹּאכֵלוּ.    29 
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

Torah Trek 86 "Do My statutes and keep Mine ordinances and do them" 6/23/17

6/23/17 Torah Trek 86 Leviticus 25

יח  וַעֲשִׂיתֶם, אֶת-חֻקֹּתַי, וְאֶת-מִשְׁפָּטַי תִּשְׁמְרוּ, וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָם--וִישַׁבְתֶּם עַל-הָאָרֶץ, לָבֶטַח.    18 

Wherefore ye shall do My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances and do them; 

and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

יט  וְנָתְנָה הָאָרֶץ פִּרְיָהּ, וַאֲכַלְתֶּם לָשֹׂבַע; וִישַׁבְתֶּם לָבֶטַח, עָלֶיהָ.    19 

And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat until ye have enough, and dwell therein in safety.

כ  וְכִי תֹאמְרוּ, מַה-נֹּאכַל בַּשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁבִיעִת:  הֵן לֹא נִזְרָע, וְלֹא נֶאֱסֹף אֶת-תְּבוּאָתֵנוּ.    20 

And if ye shall say: 

'What shall we eat the seventh year? 

behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our increase';

כא  וְצִוִּיתִי אֶת-בִּרְכָתִי לָכֶם, בַּשָּׁנָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית; וְעָשָׂת, אֶת-הַתְּבוּאָה, לִשְׁלֹשׁ, הַשָּׁנִים.    21 

then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth produce for the three years.

כב  וּזְרַעְתֶּם, אֵת הַשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁמִינִת, וַאֲכַלְתֶּם, מִן-הַתְּבוּאָה יָשָׁן; עַד הַשָּׁנָה הַתְּשִׁיעִת, עַד-בּוֹא תְּבוּאָתָהּ--תֹּאכְלוּ, יָשָׁן.    22 

And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the produce, the old store; 

until the ninth year, until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old store.

כג  וְהָאָרֶץ, לֹא תִמָּכֵר לִצְמִתֻת--כִּי-לִי, הָאָרֶץ:  כִּי-גֵרִים וְתוֹשָׁבִים אַתֶּם, עִמָּדִי.    23 

And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; 

for the land is Mine; 

for ye are strangers and settlers with Me.

כד  וּבְכֹל, אֶרֶץ אֲחֻזַּתְכֶם, גְּאֻלָּה, תִּתְּנוּ לָאָרֶץ.  {ס}    24 

And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. {S}

כה  כִּי-יָמוּךְ אָחִיךָ, וּמָכַר מֵאֲחֻזָּתוֹ--וּבָא גֹאֲלוֹ, הַקָּרֹב אֵלָיו, וְגָאַל, אֵת מִמְכַּר אָחִיו.    25 

If thy brother be waxen poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold.

כו  וְאִישׁ, כִּי לֹא יִהְיֶה-לּוֹ גֹּאֵל, וְהִשִּׂיגָה יָדוֹ, וּמָצָא כְּדֵי גְאֻלָּתוֹ.    26 

And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxen rich and find sufficient means to redeem it;

כז  וְחִשַּׁב, אֶת-שְׁנֵי מִמְכָּרוֹ, וְהֵשִׁיב אֶת-הָעֹדֵף, לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר מָכַר-לוֹ; וְשָׁב, לַאֲחֻזָּתוֹ.    27 

then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; 

and he shall return unto his possession.

כח  וְאִם לֹא-מָצְאָה יָדוֹ, דֵּי הָשִׁיב לוֹ--וְהָיָה מִמְכָּרוֹ בְּיַד הַקֹּנֶה אֹתוֹ, עַד שְׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל; וְיָצָא, בַּיֹּבֵל, וְשָׁב, לַאֲחֻזָּתוֹ.  {ס}    28 

But if he have not sufficient means to get it back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee; 

and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession. {S}

כט  וְאִישׁ, כִּי-יִמְכֹּר בֵּית-מוֹשַׁב עִיר חוֹמָה--וְהָיְתָה גְּאֻלָּתוֹ, עַד-תֹּם שְׁנַת מִמְכָּרוֹ:  יָמִים, תִּהְיֶה גְאֻלָּתוֹ.    29 

And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; 

for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.

ל  וְאִם לֹא-יִגָּאֵל, עַד-מְלֹאת לוֹ שָׁנָה תְמִימָה--וְקָם הַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר-בָּעִיר אֲשֶׁר-לא (לוֹ) חֹמָה לַצְּמִיתֻת לַקֹּנֶה אֹתוֹ, לְדֹרֹתָיו:  לֹא יֵצֵא, בַּיֹּבֵל.    30 

And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him that bought it, throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the jubilee.

לא  וּבָתֵּי הַחֲצֵרִים, אֲשֶׁר אֵין-לָהֶם חֹמָה סָבִיב--עַל-שְׂדֵה הָאָרֶץ, יֵחָשֵׁב:  גְּאֻלָּה, תִּהְיֶה-לּוֹ, וּבַיֹּבֵל, יֵצֵא.    31 

But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country; 

they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.

לב  וְעָרֵי, הַלְוִיִּם--בָּתֵּי, עָרֵי אֲחֻזָּתָם:  גְּאֻלַּת עוֹלָם, תִּהְיֶה לַלְוִיִּם.    32 

But as for the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, the Levites shall have a perpetual right of redemption.

לג  וַאֲשֶׁר יִגְאַל מִן-הַלְוִיִּם, וְיָצָא מִמְכַּר-בַּיִת וְעִיר אֲחֻזָּתוֹ בַּיֹּבֵל:  כִּי בָתֵּי עָרֵי הַלְוִיִּם, הִוא אֲחֻזָּתָם, בְּתוֹךְ, בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל.    33 

And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; 

for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the sons of Israel.

לד  וּשְׂדֵה מִגְרַשׁ עָרֵיהֶם, לֹא יִמָּכֵר:  כִּי-אֲחֻזַּת עוֹלָם הוּא, לָהֶם.  {ס}    34 

But the fields of the open land about their cities may not be sold; 

for that is their perpetual possession. {S}

Leviticus Chapter 25

א  וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, בְּהַר סִינַי לֵאמֹר.    1 

And the LORD spoke unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying:

ב  דַּבֵּר אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם, כִּי תָבֹאוּ אֶל-הָאָרֶץ, אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי נֹתֵן לָכֶם--וְשָׁבְתָה הָאָרֶץ, שַׁבָּת לַיהוָה.    2 

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and say unto them: 

When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.

ג  שֵׁשׁ שָׁנִים תִּזְרַע שָׂדֶךָ, וְשֵׁשׁ שָׁנִים תִּזְמֹר כַּרְמֶךָ; וְאָסַפְתָּ, אֶת-תְּבוּאָתָהּ.    3 

Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the produce thereof.

ד  וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁבִיעִת, שַׁבַּת שַׁבָּתוֹן יִהְיֶה לָאָרֶץ--שַׁבָּת, לַיהוָה:  שָׂדְךָ לֹא תִזְרָע, וְכַרְמְךָ לֹא תִזְמֹר.    4 

But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto the LORD; thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

ה  אֵת סְפִיחַ קְצִירְךָ לֹא תִקְצוֹר, וְאֶת-עִנְּבֵי נְזִירֶךָ לֹא תִבְצֹר:  שְׁנַת שַׁבָּתוֹן, יִהְיֶה לָאָרֶץ.    5 

That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather; 

it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

ו  וְהָיְתָה שַׁבַּת הָאָרֶץ לָכֶם, לְאָכְלָה--לְךָ, וּלְעַבְדְּךָ וְלַאֲמָתֶךָ; וְלִשְׂכִירְךָ, וּלְתוֹשָׁבְךָ, הַגָּרִים, עִמָּךְ.    6 

And the sabbath-produce of the land shall be for food for you: 

for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for the settler by thy side that sojourn with thee;

ז  וְלִבְהֶמְתְּךָ--וְלַחַיָּה, אֲשֶׁר בְּאַרְצֶךָ:  תִּהְיֶה כָל-תְּבוּאָתָהּ, לֶאֱכֹל.  {ס}    7 

and for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food. {S}

ח  וְסָפַרְתָּ לְךָ, שֶׁבַע שַׁבְּתֹת שָׁנִים--שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים, שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים; וְהָיוּ לְךָ, יְמֵי שֶׁבַע שַׁבְּתֹת הַשָּׁנִים, תֵּשַׁע וְאַרְבָּעִים, שָׁנָה.    8 

And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; 

and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years.

ט  וְהַעֲבַרְתָּ שׁוֹפַר תְּרוּעָה, בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִעִי, בֶּעָשׂוֹר, לַחֹדֶשׁ; בְּיוֹם, הַכִּפֻּרִים, תַּעֲבִירוּ שׁוֹפָר, בְּכָל-אַרְצְכֶם.    9 

Then shalt thou make proclamation with the blast of the horn on the tenth day of the seventh month; 

in the day of atonement shall ye make proclamation with the horn throughout all your land.

י  וְקִדַּשְׁתֶּם, אֵת שְׁנַת הַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה, וּקְרָאתֶם דְּרוֹר בָּאָרֶץ, לְכָל-יֹשְׁבֶיהָ; יוֹבֵל הִוא, תִּהְיֶה לָכֶם, וְשַׁבְתֶּם אִישׁ אֶל-אֲחֻזָּתוֹ, וְאִישׁ אֶל-מִשְׁפַּחְתּוֹ תָּשֻׁבוּ.    10 

And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; 

it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

יא  יוֹבֵל הִוא, שְׁנַת הַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה--תִּהְיֶה לָכֶם; לֹא תִזְרָעוּ--וְלֹא תִקְצְרוּ אֶת-סְפִיחֶיהָ, וְלֹא תִבְצְרוּ אֶת-נְזִרֶיהָ.    11 

A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you; ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of the undressed vines.

יב  כִּי יוֹבֵל הִוא, קֹדֶשׁ תִּהְיֶה לָכֶם; מִן-הַשָּׂדֶה--תֹּאכְלוּ, אֶת-תְּבוּאָתָהּ.    12 

For it is a jubilee; 

it shall be holy unto you; 

ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

יג  בִּשְׁנַת הַיּוֹבֵל, הַזֹּאת, תָּשֻׁבוּ, אִישׁ אֶל-אֲחֻזָּתוֹ.    13 

In this year of jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.

יד  וְכִי-תִמְכְּרוּ מִמְכָּר לַעֲמִיתֶךָ, אוֹ קָנֹה מִיַּד עֲמִיתֶךָ--אַל-תּוֹנוּ, אִישׁ אֶת-אָחִיו.    14 

And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbour, or buy of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not wrong one another.

טו  בְּמִסְפַּר שָׁנִים אַחַר הַיּוֹבֵל, תִּקְנֶה מֵאֵת עֲמִיתֶךָ; בְּמִסְפַּר שְׁנֵי-תְבוּאֹת, יִמְכָּר-לָךְ.    15 

According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee.

טז  לְפִי רֹב הַשָּׁנִים, תַּרְבֶּה מִקְנָתוֹ, וּלְפִי מְעֹט הַשָּׁנִים, תַּמְעִיט מִקְנָתוֹ:  כִּי מִסְפַּר תְּבוּאֹת, הוּא מֹכֵר לָךְ.    16 

According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; 

for the number of crops doth he sell unto thee.

יז  וְלֹא תוֹנוּ אִישׁ אֶת-עֲמִיתוֹ, וְיָרֵאתָ מֵאֱלֹהֶיךָ:  כִּי אֲנִי יְהוָה, אֱלֹהֵיכֶם.    17 

And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God; 

for I am the LORD your God.
