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.
Defile not
ye
yourselves in
any of these things:
for in
all these the nations are
defiled
which
I cast
out before you :
Even
the land has
become
defiled ,
so
I am
punishing
it for
its
sin
, and the land will
vomit
out its
inhabitants.
And
the land is
defiled :
therefore
I do
visit
the
iniquity
thereof
upon
it, and the land itself
vomiteth
out her
inhabitants.
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 .
Ye
shall
therefore
keep my statutes and my
judgments
, and shall
not commit any of these abominations ;
neither any
of
your own
nation,
nor any
stranger
that
sojourneth
among you :
For the men who
were
in
the land before you committed
all
these
abominations
, and the land has
become
defiled .
(
For all
these
abominations
have
the men of
the land done,
which
were
before you, and the land is
defiled ;)
So
if
you
defile
the land ,
it
will
vomit
you out as it spewed
out the nations before you.
That
the land spue
not
you out also,
when
ye
defile
it,
as it spued
out the nations that
were
before you.
Therefore
anyone
who
commits
any of these abominations must
be cut off from among his
people.
For
whosoever
shall
commit
any of these abominations ,
even
the
souls
that
commit
them
shall
be cut off from among their
people.
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. ”
Therefore
shall
ye
keep mine
ordinance,
that
ye
commit
not any one
of these
abominable customs ,
which
were committed
before you, and
that ye
defile not
yourselves therein:
I am the LORD your God.
