Chapter 26 is a restating of God’s covenant to his people. God promised his people rewards for their
obedience-fertile, harvest, peace and security, military success, sexual fertility and God’s presence.
Disobedience would bring diseases, destruction, drought, beasts, sword, pestilence, famine and exile
(14-39). God did promise that if they in exile, God would forgive them and not abandon them but
remember his covenant with Abram, renew his relationship with them. (40-27)
Chapter 27 discusses vows and gifts. God provided a monetary value for redemption- people, animals,
possessions, yet also prohibiting vows involving things already devoted to God. Vows were a way for
Israelites to worship God by offering themselves to God.
