3After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein you dwelled, shall you not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, where I bring you, shall you not do: neither shall you walk in their ordinances.Select Leviticus 18:3

4You shall do my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.Select Leviticus 18:4

5You shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD. ¶Select Leviticus 18:5

24Defile not you yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:Select Leviticus 18:24

25And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof on it, and the land itself vomits out her inhabitants.Select Leviticus 18:25

26You shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourns among you:Select Leviticus 18:26

27(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)Select Leviticus 18:27

28That the land spew not you out also, when you defile it, as it spewed out the nations that were before you.Select Leviticus 18:28

29For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.Select Leviticus 18:29

30Therefore shall you keep my ordinance, that you commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that you defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.Select Leviticus 18:30
