Leviticus 26:23-26

23 “‘If in spite of these things ^{▼▼tn Heb “And if in these.”} you do not allow yourselves to be disciplined and you walk in hostility against me, ^{▼▼tn Heb “with me,” but see the added preposition ב (bet) on the phrase “in hostility” in vv. 24 and 27.} 24 then I myself will also walk in hostility against you and strike you ^{▼▼tn Heb “and I myself will also strike you.”} seven times on account of your sins. 25 I will bring on you an avenging sword, a covenant vengeance. ^{▼▼tn Heb “vengeance of covenant”; cf. NAB “the avenger of my covenant.”} Although ^{▼▼tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has a concessive force in this context.} you will gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you, and you will be given into enemy hands. ^{▼▼tn Heb “in hand of enemy,” but Tg. Ps.-J. and Tg. Neof. have “in the hands of your enemies” (J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 454).} 26 When I break off your supply of bread, ^{▼▼tn Heb “When I break to you staff of bread” (KJV, ASV, and NASB all similar).} ten women will bake your bread in one oven; they will ration your bread by weight, ^{▼▼tn Heb “they will return your bread in weight.”} and you will eat and not be satisfied.
