Defiled

And to Adam he said, Because you gave ear to the voice of your wife and took of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take, the earth is cursed on your account; in pain you will get your food from it all your life.

And the earth was evil in God's eyes and full of violent ways.

Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:

So then, keep my rules and my decisions and do them, so that the land which I am giving you as your resting-place may not violently send you out again.

So do not make the land where you are living unholy: for blood makes the land unholy: and there is no way of making the land free from the blood which has come on it, but only by the death of him who was the cause of it.

And Manasseh made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go out of the true way, so that they did more evil than those nations whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.

And they gave worship to images; which were a danger to them:

They say, If a man puts away his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's, will he go back to her again? will not that land have been made unclean? but though you have been acting like a loose woman with a number of lovers, will you now come back to me? says the Lord.

As for their beautiful ornament, they had put it on high, and had made the images of their disgusting and hated things in it: for this cause I have made it an unclean thing to them.

Son of man, say to her, You are a land on which no rain or thunderstorm has come in the day of wrath.

Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.

For every living thing was put under the power of change, not by its desire, but by him who made it so, in hope

So Joshua made an agreement with the people that day, and gave them a rule and a law in Shechem.

And he will say words against the Most High, attempting to put an end to the saints of the Most High; and he will have the idea of changing times and law; and the saints will be given into his hands for a time and times and half a time.

But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.

They were upright in the eyes of God, keeping all the rules and orders of God, and doing no wrong.

Now the first agreement had its rules of worship, and a holy order.

The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.
