Leviticus 18:24-30 - Warning Against The Abominations Of The Nations
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.'"
