Summary of Parshat Bechukotai
God promises that if the Children of Israel observe His commandments, they will enjoy material prosperity and live securely in their land. But He also gives a harsh rebuke, warning of exile, persecution, and other suffering that will befall them if they abandon their covenant with God.
However, “Even then, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not abhor them or despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the Lord their God.”.
The parashah concludes with the rules for calculating the values of different types of economic promises made to God.
