Leviticus 18:24-30
1599 Geneva Bible
24 Ye shall not defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the Nations are defiled which I will cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I will [a]visit the wickedness thereof upon it, and the land [b]shall vomit out her inhabitants.
26 Ye shall keep therefore mine ordinances, and my judgments, and commit none of these abominations, as well he that is of the same country, as the stranger that sojourneth among you.
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled:
28 And shall not the land spew you out if ye defile it, as it [c]spewed out the people that were before you?)
29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, the persons that do so, shall [d]be cut off from among their people.
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinances, that ye do not any of the abominable customs, which have been done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: for I am the Lord your God.
