<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

whither I bring

you, shall ye not do

lie
<07903>

carnally

<05414> (8799)

let any of thy seed
<02233>

neither shalt thou profane

the name

of thy God
<0430>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

Thou shalt not lie
<07901> (8799)

<05414> (8799)

lie
<07903>

with any beast
<0929>

stand
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

a beast
<0929>

to lie down
<07250> (8800)

thereto: it [is] confusion
<08397>_.

18:24

Defile
<02930> (8691)

not ye yourselves in any of these things
<0428>_:

for in all these the nations
<01471>

are defiled
<02930> (8738)

which I cast out
<07971> (8764)

before
<06440>

you:

18:25

And the land
<0776>

is defiled
<02930> (8799)_:

therefore I do visit
<06485> (8799)

the iniquity
<05771>

thereof upon it, and the land
<0776>

itself vomiteth out
<06958> (8686)

her inhabitants
<03427> (8802)_.

18:26

Ye shall therefore keep
<08104> (8804)

my statutes
<02708>

and my judgments
<04941>_,

and shall not commit
<06213> (8799)

[any] of these abominations
<08441>_;

[neither] any of your own nation
<0249>_,

nor any stranger
<01616>

that sojourneth
<01481> (8802)

among
<08432>

you:

18:27

(For all these
<0411>

abominations
<08441>

have the men
<0582>

of the land
<0776>

done
<06213> (8804)_,

which [were] before
<06440>

you, and the land
<0776>

is defiled
<02930> (8799);)

18:28

That the land
<0776>

spue not you out
<06958> (8686)

also, when ye defile
<02930> (8763)

it, as it spued out
<06958> (8804)

the nations
<01471>

that [were] before
<06440>

you.

18:29

For whosoever shall commit
<06213> (8799)

any of these abominations
<08441>_,

even the souls
<05315>

that commit
<06213> (8802)

[them] shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)

from among
<07130>

their people
<05971>_.

18:30

Therefore shall ye keep
<08104> (8804)

mine ordinance
<04931>_,

that [ye] commit
<06213> (8800)

not [any one] of these abominable
<08441>

customs
<02708>_,

which were committed
<06213> (8738)

before
<06440>

you, and that ye defile
<02930> (8691)

not yourselves therein: I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.
