The phrase only occurs once more, viz., Leviticus 20:25, where it is translated in the Authorised Version, "Ye shall not make your souls abominable." This is the reason why "soul" is put here in the margin on the word "selves."

As a test of the people's obedience, as Adam was forbidden to eat of the tree of knowledge; and to teach them self-denial, and the government of their appetites. 2. To keep the Israelites distinct from other nations. Many also of these forbidden animals were objects of superstition and idolatry to the heathen. 3. The people were taught to make distinctions between the holy and unholy in their companions and intimate connexions. 4. The law forbad, not only the eating of the unclean beasts, but the touching of them. Those who would be kept from any sin, must be careful to avoid all temptations to it, or coming near it. The exceptions are very minute, and all were designed to call forth constant care and exactness in their obedience; and to teach us to obey. Whilst we enjoy our Christian liberty, and are free from such burdensome observances, we must be careful not to abuse our liberty. For the Lord hath redeemed and called his people, that they may be holy, even as he is holy. We must come out, and be separate from the world; we must leave the company of the ungodly, and all needless connexions with those who are dead in sin; we must be zealous of good works devoted followers of God, and companions of his people.] Jump to Previous Abominable Animal Crawleth Crawling Creatures Creepeth Creeping Creeps Defile Defiled Detestable Disgusting Earth Flat Goes Holy Means Render Selves Swarm Swarmeth Swarming Swarms Teeming Thereby Unclean Way YourselvesJump to Next Abominable Animal Crawleth Crawling Creatures Creepeth Creeping Creeps Defile Defiled Detestable Disgusting Earth Flat Goes Holy Means Render Selves Swarm Swarmeth Swarming Swarms Teeming Thereby Unclean Way YourselvesLinks Leviticus 11:43 NIVLeviticus 11:43 NLT Leviticus 11:43 ESV Leviticus 11:43 NASB Leviticus 11:43 KJV Leviticus 11:43 Bible Apps Leviticus 11:43 Biblia Paralela Leviticus 11:43 Chinese Bible Leviticus 11:43 French Bible Leviticus 11:43 German Bible Alphabetical: and any be become by creatures defile detestable Do made make means not of or render shall so swarm swarming that the them these things through unclean with you yourselves OT Law: Leviticus 11:43 You shall not make yourselves abominable (Le Lv Lev.)
