Leviticus 25-27

In 26:14-33 God explains to his people what he will do to the nation if the decendants of those who heard God speak from the mountain reject his Law. There were mentioned five steps of discipline. The last of the five included an exile. All of these steps of rebuke were not intended to eliminate the people, but to lead them back to the LORD who brought them out of Egypt.  His punishment would be difficult for any person living at the time, but there was also a chance to repent.  God made it clear that the exile would be temporary if the remnant repents.
I read this passage during two seperate time intervals. The total time was about 16 minutes.
