Leviticus 26:3-27:34
Bechukotai (“In My Laws”), the final Torah portion in the book of Leviticus, describes blessings that follow obedience to God's laws and curses that come with desecration of them. It ends with the laws of vows and consecration of people and property.
Summary: Sefaria
How it begins
אִם־בְּחֻקֹּתַי תֵּלֵכוּ וְאֶת־מִצְוֺתַי תִּשְׁמְרוּ וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָם׃
26:3 If ye walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them;
וְנָתַתִּי גִשְׁמֵיכֶם בְּעִתָּם וְנָתְנָה הָאָרֶץ יְבוּלָהּ וְעֵץ הַשָּׂדֶה יִתֵּן פִּרְיוֹ׃
26:4 then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield her produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
וְהִשִּׂיג לָכֶם דַּיִשׁ אֶת־בָּצִיר וּבָצִיר יַשִּׂיג אֶת־זָרַע וַאֲכַלְתֶּם לַחְמְכֶם לָשֹׂבַע וִישַׁבְתֶּם לָבֶטַח בְּאַרְצְכֶם׃
26:5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time; and ye shall eat your bread until ye have enough, and dwell in your land safely.
