Leviticus 18:28
Context18:28 So do not make the land vomit you out because you defile it 1 just as it has vomited out the nations 2 that were before you.
Leviticus 20:22
Context20:22 “‘You must be sure to obey all my statutes and regulations, 3 so that 4 the land to which I am about to bring you to take up residence there does not vomit you out.


[18:28] 1 tn Heb “And the land will not vomit you out in your defiling it.”
[18:28] 2 tc The MT reads the singular “nation” and is followed by ASV, NASB, NRSV; the LXX, Syriac, and Targum have the plural “nations” (cf. v. 24).
[20:22] 3 tn Heb “And you shall keep all my statutes and all my regulations and you shall do them.” This appears to be a kind of verbal hendiadys, where the first verb is a modifier of the action of the second verb (see GKC 386 §120.d, although שָׁמַר [shamar, “to keep”] is not cited there; cf. Lev 22:31, etc.).
[20:22] 4 tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.
