Do not become unclean in any of these ways. By these practices all the nations that I am forcing out of your way have become unclean. The land has become unclean. I will punish it for its sins. The land will vomit out those who live in it. Live by my standards, and obey my rules. Neither you nor any foreigner should ever do any of these disgusting things. read more.
The people of the land who were there before you did all these disgusting things. As a result, the land has become unclean. If you make the land unclean, it will vomit you out as it has vomited out the people who were there before you. Whoever does any of these disgusting things must be excluded from the people. Therefore you must follow my instructions. Do not live by the standards of the people who lived there before you. What they do is disgusting. Never become unclean that way. I am Jehovah your God!'

Do not defile the land where you are living! I am Jehovah and I live among the people of Israel.
