The Consequences of Defiling the Land

24

Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for by all these things the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves.

25

Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.

26

But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.

27

For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.

28

So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.

29

Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.

30

You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the LORD your God.”
