Parashat Bechukotai

Leviticus 26:3-27:34

The book concludes with blessings for faithfulness and warnings against betrayal of the covenant. History is framed as morally responsive: choices shape destiny, individually and collectively. Yet even in the darkest moments, God promises that the covenant with Israel will endure.

    “Your threshing season will last until your grape harvest, and your grape harvest will last until the time you plant. You will have your fill of food, and you will dwell securely in your land.” (1) This blessing is promised to the people of Israel on condition that, as a unified nation, they observe the laws of the Torah and live by its spirit. Its promise is quite surprising.
