24. Make not yourselves tamei in any of these things; for in all these the Goyim which I cast out before you became tamei;
25. And HaAretz became tamei; therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and HaAretz itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26. Ye shall therefore be shomer over My chukkot and My mishpatim, and shall not commit any of these to'evot; no, neither any of your ezrach, nor any ger that sojourneth among you;
27. (For all these to'evot have the anshei HaAretz done, which were before you, and HaAretz is tamei;)
28. That HaAretz vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the Goyim that were before you.
29. For whosoever shall commit any of these to'evot, even the nefashot that commit them shall be cut off (i.e., suffer the death penalty [see Daniel 9:26 regarding Moshiach's death penalty] from among their people.
30. Therefore shall ye be shomer over My charge, that ye commit not any one of these chukkot hato'evot, which were committed before you, and that ye make not yourselves tamei therein: I am Hashem Eloheichem.
