Reward for Obedience

26“‘Do not make idols^(A) or set up an image^(B) or a sacred stone^(C) for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone^(D) in your land to bow down before it. I am the Lord your God.

²“‘Observe my Sabbaths^(E) and have reverence for my sanctuary.^(F) I am the Lord.

³“‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey^(G) my commands, ⁴I will send you rain^(H) in its season,^(I) and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit.^{(J) 5}Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want^(K) and live in safety in your land.^(L)

⁶“‘I will grant peace in the land,^(M) and you will lie down^(N) and no one will make you afraid.^(O) I will remove wild beasts^(P) from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. ⁷You will pursue your enemies,^(Q) and they will fall by the sword before you. ⁸Five^(R) of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.^(S)

⁹“‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers,^(T) and I will keep my covenant^(U) with you. ¹⁰You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new.^{(V) 11}I will put my dwelling place^[a](W) among you, and I will not abhor you.^{(X) 12}I will walk^(Y) among you and be your God,^(Z) and you will be my people.^{(AA) 13}I am the Lord your God,^(AB) who brought you out of Egypt^(AC) so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke^(AD) and enabled you to walk with heads held high.
