Thus the land became defiled; and I punished it for its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
|
| 18:26 |
But you shall keep my statutes and my ordinances and commit none of these abominations, either the citizen or the alien who resides among you
|
| 18:27 |
(for the inhabitants of the land, who were before you, committed all of these abominations, and the land became defiled);
|
| 18:28 |
otherwise the land will vomit you out for defiling it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
|
| 18:29 |
For whoever commits any of these abominations shall be cut off from their people.
|
| 18:30 |
So keep my charge not to commit any of these abominations that were done before you, and not to defile yourselves by them: I am the LORD your God.
