The story
What happens, plainly.
If you walk in My statutes, says Hashem, the rain will come in its season, the threshing will last until the grape harvest, you will lie down with no one to frighten you, and I will set My Mishkan among you and walk among you; I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk upright. If you will not listen, the blessings turn over: terror and sickness, a sky like iron, women baking bread together in a single oven and eating it by weight, and exile, while the land makes up the Sabbaths it was denied. Yet when they confess, even in the land of their enemies, Hashem will remember His covenant with Yaakov, Yitzchak and Avraham, and remember the land, and will not cast them away. The book closes with vows: the set value of a person by age, of animals, houses and fields, and the tenth of the herd that passes under the rod and is holy.
