Leviticus 26:25-26

25 I will bring on you an avenging sword, a covenant vengeance. ^{▼▼ Heb “vengeance of covenant”; cf. NAB “the avenger of my covenant.”} Although ^{▼▼ Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) has a concessive force in this context.} you will gather together into your cities, I will send pestilence among you and you will be given into enemy hands. ^{▼▼ 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).} 26 When I break off your supply of bread, ^{▼▼ Heb “When I break to you staff of bread” (KJV, ASV, and NASB all similar).} ten women will bake your bread in one oven; they will ration your bread by weight, ^{▼▼ Heb “they will return your bread in weight.”} and you will eat and not be satisfied.
