27And if, in spite of this, you do not listen to me and continue to reject me, 28I will reject you in the wrath caused by your sins, and I myself will not cease to punish you to the fullest for your sins. 29To satisfy your hunger, you will eat your sons and daughters. 30All your hills, where you worship idols, I will tear down; I will break down the altars of incense to false gods; but I will cast your corpses on the fragments of idols, so abhorrent in your sins will you be to Me. 31I will turn your cities into ruins and your sanctuaries,[961] and I will lay waste it: I will turn away, and I will no longer breathe the sweet fragrances[962] of your sacrifices. 32I will so devastate this land that even your enemies will be terrified when they come here. 33I will scatter you among the nations, driving you in the back with the edge of the sword, until your land is turned into a desert and your cities into ruins. 34 And then the earth will take advantage of its sabbaths, while you are exiles in the land of your enemies, your land will rest and enjoy the sabbath rest. 35In all the days of her desolation, she will be given the Sabbath rest, which she did not have while you lived on her. 36And those of you who survive in the land of your enemies, I will throw you into such timidity that they will flee from the rustle of a leaf driven by the wind, as if they flee from a sword. and they will fall when no one is chasing them. 37They will bump into each other as if they were fleeing from the sword, although there will be no one to pursue them. You will not have the strength to resist your enemies. 38So you will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will devour you. 39But those of you who survive will languish for their iniquities in the land of your enemies, and for the iniquities of their fathers.

40But when they realize their iniquity and their fathers' transgressions—their treachery and enmity toward me, 41 which led me to become their adversary and to drive them into the land of their enemies—if it should happen that their uncircumcised hearts should become humble, and they should desire to restore what was lost[963] in their lives because of their grievous sins, 42 then will I show them, that I remember My covenant with Jacob, and the covenant with Isaac, and with Abraham, I will remember the land.

43For the earth will be abandoned by them to enjoy its Sabbath rest, being left empty after they have departed. But they will have to make up for what they have lost because of their iniquities, because they have despised My precepts and rejected My statutes.

44But even when they dwell in the land of their enemies, I will not despise them, nor will I reject them completely, nor will I destroy them. I will not break my covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. 45For their sake I will remember my covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of Egypt in the sight of other nations, to become God to them. I am the Lord."

46Such are the ordinances, precepts, and indications which the Lord gave through Moses on Mount Sinai, establishing the covenant, the covenant, between himself and the children of Israel.

On the ransom of a person consecrated to the Lord

27 The Lord gave Moses 2 the following instructions for the children of Israel: "When someone dedicates himself or a person close to him to the Lord according to his vow, according to your assessment, let him do it. [964] 3 If he is a man between twenty and sixty years of age, he is to be valued at fifty shekels of silver[965] (in the shekels that are in circulation in the Sanctuary). 4 If it is a woman, it is to be valued at thirty shekels[966].

5 If he is between five and twenty years old, then the male sex is estimated at twenty shekels, and the female at ten[967].

6 If the initiate is from one month of life to five years, the boy should be valued at five silver shekels and the girl at three[968].

7And if sixty years of age or more, then you shall value a man at fifteen shekels and a woman at ten shekels.

8But if someone is too poor to pay according to your estimate, bring the person to be ordained to the priest, and then he will be obliged to assess his capabilities, taking into account the wealth of the one who makes the vow.

About the redemption of an animal

9If a vow is made for an animal that is usually sacrificed to the Lord, then every animal given to the Lord becomes holy. 10 Such an animal can no longer be replaced by anything else, the good by the bad and the bad by the good. If someone replaces one animal with another, both creatures will become holy. 11 If the animal is unclean, such as is not sacrificed to the Lord, it is to be brought before the priest, 12 and the priest will determine its average value. As the priest evaluates, so it will be. 13But if anyone wants to redeem this beast, he must add a fifth of it to this valuation.
