Imamat 26:23-25

26:23 “‘If in spite of these things ¹  you do not allow yourselves to be disciplined and you walk in hostility against me, ²  26:24 I myself will also walk in hostility against you and strike you ³  seven times on account of your sins. 26:25 I will bring on you an avenging sword, a covenant vengeance. ⁴  Although ⁵  you will gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you and you will be given into enemy hands. ⁶ 

Ulangan 28:40

28:40 You will have olive trees throughout your territory but you will not anoint yourself with olive oil, because the olives will drop off the trees while still unripe. ⁷ 

Ulangan 28:47-48

The Curse of Military Siege

28:47 “Because you have not served the Lord your God joyfully and wholeheartedly with the abundance of everything you have, 28:48 instead in hunger, thirst, nakedness, and poverty ⁸  you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you. They ⁹  will place an iron yoke on your neck until they have destroyed you.

[26:23]  ¹ tn Heb “And if in these.”

[26:23]  ² tn Heb “with me,” but see the added preposition בְּ (bet) on the phrase “in hostility” in vv. 24 and 27.

[26:24]  ³ tn Heb “and I myself will also strike you.”

[26:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “vengeance of covenant”; cf. NAB “the avenger of my covenant.”

[26:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has a concessive force in this context.

[26:25]  ⁶ 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).

[28:40]  ⁷ tn Heb “your olives will drop off” (נָשַׁל, nashal), referring to the olives dropping off before they ripen.

[28:48]  ⁸ tn Heb “lack of everything.”

[28:48]  ⁹ tn Heb “he” (also later in this verse). The pronoun is a collective singular referring to the enemies (cf. CEV, NLT). Many translations understand the singular pronoun to refer to the Lord (cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NCV, NRSV, TEV).
