Behar / Bechukotai
The faithful are blessed The faithless suffer curses But still, forgiveness
Bechukotai begins with blessings (Leviticus 26:3-9)"If you follow My laws and faithfully observe My commandments ... I will look with favor upon you ... and I will maintain My covenant with you ... "Then warns of curses (Leviticus 26:14-16)"If you do not obey ... if you reject My laws ... I will wreak misery upon you ... "But ultimately, promises forgiveness (Leviticus 26:44-45)"Yet even then ... I will remember in their favor the covenant with the ancients ... "
