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 {YHWH Eloheikem}.” Leviticus 18:24-30, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
