30 custodite mandata mea nolite facere quae fecerunt hii qui fuerunt ante vos et ne polluamini in eis ego Dominus Deus vester
and ye have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the abominable statutes which have been done before you, and ye do not defile yourselves with them; I [am] Jehovah your God.'
