After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their customs.

24 Yee shall not defile your selues in any of these things: for in al these the nations are defiled, which I will cast out before you:
Make not yourselves unclean in any of these things; for in all these have the nations which I am casting out before you made themselves unclean.
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I wil visit the wickednesse thereof vpon it, and the lande shall vomit out her inhabitants.
And the land hath become unclean; and I visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants.
26 Ye shall keepe therefore mine ordinances, and my iudgements, and commit none of these abominations, aswell hee that is of the same countrey, as the straunger that soiourneth among you.
But ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of all these abominations: the home-born, and the stranger that sojourneth among you;
27 (For all these abominations haue the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled:
(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath been made unclean);
28 And shall not the lande spue you out if ye defile it, as it spued out the people that were before you?)
that the land vomit you not out, when ye make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29 For whosoeuer shall commit any of these abominations, the persons that doe so, shall bee cut off from among their people.
For whoever committeth any of these abominations, ...the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
