24. “ ‘You must not make yourself unclean in any of these things, because the nations whom I am driving out from your presence were made unclean by all of these.
25. So the land became unclean, and I have brought the punishment of its guilt upon it, and the land has vomited out its inhabitants.
26. But you (neither the native nor the alien who is dwelling in your midst) shall keep my statutes and my regulations, and you shall not practice any of these detestable things
27. (because the people of the land, who were before you, did all these detestable things, so the land became unclean),
28. so that the land will not vomit you out when you make it unclean just as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29. Indeed, anyone who does any of these detestable things, even those persons who do so shall be cut off from the midst of their people.
30. Thus you shall keep my obligation to not do any of the statutes regarding the detestable things that they did before you, so that you will not make yourselves unclean by them; I am Yahweh your God.’ ”
