Leviticus 18:24-30 ▼

24 Do not defile yourselves with all these, for with all these the nations have been defiled which I am sending away from before you;

25 and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity on it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.

26 And you have kept My statutes and My judgments, and do not do [any] of all these abominations, the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst,

27 for the men of the land who [are] before you have done all these abominations and the land is defiled,

28 and the land does not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it has vomited out the nation which [is] before you;

29 for anyone who does [any] of all these abominations—even the persons who are doing [so]—have been cut off from the midst of their people;

30 and you have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and you do not defile yourselves with them; I [am] your God YHWH.”
