Blessings and Curses · Leviticus 26
Blessings and Curses (Leviticus 26) read aloud, in a fresh direct translation from the Hebrew - plain modern English, nothing added.
Translator's notes:
• Leviticus 26:15 — תִּגְעַל (tig'al): chose "detests". Alternatives: "rejects", "loathes", "abhors". Why: the verb expresses strong rejection/loathing; its exact force in parallel with rejecting statutes is debated.
• Leviticus 26:30 — חַמָּנֵיכֶם (chammanekhem): chose "your incense altars". Alternatives: "your sun-pillars", "your incense stands". Why: the term's form and function — solar pillar or incense altar — are uncertain.
