Leviticus 18:3

After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.

After the doings {H4639} of the land {H776} of Egypt {H4714}, wherein ye dwelt {H3427}, shall ye not do {H6213}: and after the doings {H4639} of the land {H776} of Canaan {H3667}, whither I bring {H935} you, shall ye not do {H6213}: neither shall ye walk {H3212} in their ordinances {H2708}.

You are not to engage in the activities found in the land of Egypt, where you used to live; and you are not to engage in the activities found in the land of Kena'an, where I am bringing you; nor are you to live by their laws.

You must not follow the practices of the land of Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not follow the practices of the land of Canaan, into which I am bringing you. You must not walk in their customs.

After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes.
