²⁴ Defile not yourselves in any of these things, for with all these things are these nations defiled which I cast out before you: ²⁵ and the land is defiled, and I will visit the wickedness thereof upon it. And the land shall spew out her inhabiters. ²⁶ Keep ye therefore mine ordinances and judgments, and see that ye commit none of these abominations: neither any of you nor any stranger that sojourneth among you ²⁷ - for all these abominations have the men of the land done which were there before you, and the land is defiled - ²⁸ lest that the land spew you out when ye have defiled it, as it spewed out the nations that were there before you. ²⁹ For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, the same souls that commit them shall perish from among their people. ³⁰ Therefore see that ye keep mine ordinances, that ye commit none of these abominable customs which were committed before you: that ye defile not yourselves therewith, for I am the LORD your God.'"
