Leviticus 18:28

18:28 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 20:23

20:23 You must not walk in the statutes of the nation ³  which I am about to drive out before you, because they have done all these things and I am filled with disgust against them.

[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).

[20:23]  ³ tc One medieval Hebrew ms, Smr, and all the major ancient versions have the plural “nations.” Some English versions retain the singular (e.g., KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV); others have the plural “nations” (e.g., NAB, NIV) and still others translate as “people” (e.g., TEV, NLT).
