Leviticus 18:24-30 in English

²⁴ Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you;

²⁵ and the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants.

²⁶ Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you

²⁷ (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled);

²⁸ that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹ For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore shall ye keep my charge, that ye practise not any of these abominable customs, which were practised before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am Jehovah your God.

²⁴ Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,

²⁵ and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.

²⁶ And ye shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and ye shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:

²⁷ (for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled,)

²⁸ and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.

²⁹ For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people.

³⁰ And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and ye shall not be polluted in them; for I am the Lord your God.

²⁴ Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

²⁵ And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

²⁶ Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:

²⁷ (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

²⁸ That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

²⁹ For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

²⁴ Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

²⁵ And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

²⁶ Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:

²⁷ (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

²⁸ That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

²⁹ For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

²⁴ Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,

²⁵ and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.

²⁶ And you° shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and you° shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:

²⁷ (for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled,)

²⁸ and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.

²⁹ For whoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people.

³⁰ And you° shall keep my ordinances, that you° may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and you° shall not be polluted in them; for I am the Lord your God.

²⁵ And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants.

²⁶ Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the homeborn, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you:

²⁷ (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

²⁸ that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹ For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore shall ye keep my charge, that ye do not any of these abominable customs, which were done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

²⁴ Do not ◄defile yourselves/cause yourselves to become unacceptable to me► in any of those ways, because doing those things is how the people of the nations that I expelled as you advanced became ◄unacceptable to me/defiled►.

²⁵ They even caused the land to become defiled, so I punished them for their sins, and it was as though the land vomited out the people who lived there.

²⁶ You must all obey my laws and decrees. That includes you people who were born here and the foreigners who live among you.

²⁷ All those detestable things were done by the people who lived in this land before you came here, and they caused the land to become defiled.

²⁸ So if you defile the land, I will get rid of MET you like I got rid of the people of those nations that were here before you came.

²⁹ You must not allow people who do any of those detestable things to associate with you who are my people.

³⁰ Obey everything that I command you to do, and do not defile yourselves by practicing any of the detestable customs that were practiced by the people who were there before you came. I, Yahweh your God, am the one who is commanding these things.”

²⁴ Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,

²⁵ and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.

²⁶ And you° shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and you° shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:

²⁷ (for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled,)

²⁸ and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.

²⁹ For whoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from amongst their people.

³⁰ And you° shall keep my ordinances, that you° may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and you° shall not be polluted in them; for I am the Lord your God.

²⁴ “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

²⁵ The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

²⁶ You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you

²⁷ (for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),

²⁸ that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹ “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am Yahweh your God.’”

²⁴ “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

²⁵ The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

²⁶ You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you

²⁷ (for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),

²⁸ that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹ “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am Yahweh your God.’”

²⁴ “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

²⁵ The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

²⁶ You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst you

²⁷ (for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled),

²⁸ that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹ “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from amongst their people.

³⁰ Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practise any of these abominable customs which were practised before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am the LORD your God.’”

²⁴ Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:

²⁵ And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.

²⁶ So then keep my rules and my decisions, and do not do any of these disgusting things, those of you who are Israelites by birth, or any others who are living with you:

²⁷ (For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them;)

²⁸ So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.

²⁹ For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ So then, keep my orders, so that you may not do any of these disgusting things which were done before you, or make yourselves unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.

²⁴ 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 hath become unclean; and I visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants.

²⁶ 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 have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath been made unclean);

²⁸ that the land vomit you not out, when ye make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹ For whoever committeth any of these abominations, ...the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ And ye shall observe my charge, that ye commit not any of the abominable customs which were committed before you; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean therein: I am Jehovah your God.

²⁴ Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you,

²⁵ And with which the land is defiled: the abominations of which I will visit, that it may vomit out its inhabitants.

²⁶ Keep ye my ordinances and my judgments, and do not any of these abominations: neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you.

²⁷ For all these detestable things the inhabitants of the land have done, that; were before you, and have defiled it.

²⁸ Beware then, lest in like manner, it vomit you also out, if you do the like things, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹ Every soul that shall commit any of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people.

³⁰ Keep my commandments. Do not the things which they have done, that have been before you, and be not defiled therein. I am the Lord your God.

²⁴ A woman must not give herself to an animal to have sex with it. That is something disgusting. Don't pollute yourselves and make yourselves unclean by doing anything like this. That's the reason I'm expelling these nations from the land—they polluted themselves because of all these practices.

²⁵ Even the land has become polluted, so I am punishing it for the sins committed by the people who live there, and the land will vomit them out.

²⁶ You, however, must do what I tell you and keep my rules. You must not do any of these disgusting acts, whether an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.

²⁷ The people who lived in the land before you practiced all these disgusting things, and the land became polluted.

²⁸ If you pollute the land, it will vomit you out just like it did the nations before you.

²⁹ Consequently anyone who does any of these disgusting things must be expelled from their people.

³⁰ You must accept my demand that you don't follow any of these disgusting practices done before you arrived. Don't pollute yourselves and make yourselves unclean. I am the Lord your God.”

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:

²⁵ And the land is defiled: therefore I wil visit the wickednesse thereof vpon it, and the lande shall vomit out her 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.

²⁷ (For all these abominations haue the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled:

²⁸ And shall not the lande spue you out if ye defile it, as it spued out the people that were before you?)

²⁹ For whosoeuer shall commit any of these abominations, the persons that doe so, shall bee cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore shall yee keepe mine ordinances that ye do not any of the abominable customes, which haue bene done before you, and that yee defile not your selues therein: for I am the Lord your God.

²⁴ Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled, which I cast out from before you.

²⁵ And the land was defiled, therefore I did visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

²⁶ Ye therefore shall keep My statutes and Mine ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the home-born, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you —

²⁷ for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled —

²⁸ that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹ For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore shall ye keep My charge, that ye do not any of these abominable customs, which were done before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

²⁴ Defile not you yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

²⁵ and the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

²⁶ Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:

²⁷ (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

²⁸ that the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

²⁹ For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore ye shall keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the Lord your God.

²⁴ Do not defile yourselves through any of these things.; for through all these have become defiled the nations which I cast out before you:

²⁵ And the land became defiled; wherefore I have visited its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomited out its inhabitants.

²⁶ Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, and ye shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you;

²⁷ (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land hath become defiled;)

²⁸ That the land may not vomit you out also, when ye defile it, as it hath vomited out the nations that were before you.

²⁹ For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations,— even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore shall ye keep my charge, so that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye do not defile yourselves therewith: I am the Lord your God.

²⁴ Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,

²⁵ and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.

²⁶ And ye shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and ye shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you

²⁷ (for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled),

²⁸ and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.

²⁹ For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people.

³⁰ And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and ye shall not be polluted in them; for I am the Lord your God.

²⁴ Ye shall not pollute yourselves with any of these; for with all these have the peoples defiled themselves whom I am about to drive away from before you.

²⁵ And the land (itself) is contaminated; and I will visit the guilt that is upon it, and the land shall vomit forth the inhabitants.

²⁶ But you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, and commit none of these abominations, neither the native-born nor the sojourners who sojourn among you;

²⁷ For all these abominations have been done by the men of the land who have been before you, and the land hath been polluted;

²⁸ That the land vomit you not out when ye defile it; as it will have cast out the people who were before you.

²⁹ For whoso committeth any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people.

³⁰ And you shall observe the keeping of My word, that you do not (according to) the abominable usages which have been done before You, nor be corrupted by them. I am the Lord your God.

²⁴ “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

²⁵ The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

²⁶ You therefore shall keep my regulations and my judgments, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you; (LY: Maftir ·Conclusion·)

²⁷ (for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled);

²⁸ that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

²⁹ “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable regulations and customs, which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am Adonai your God.’”

²⁴ Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for in all these ways the nations are defiled, the nations that I will drive out from before you.

²⁵ The land became defiled, so I punished their sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.

²⁶ You, therefore, must keep my commandments and decrees, and you must not do any of these detestable things, neither the native-born Israelite nor the foreigner who lives among you.

²⁷ For this is the wickedness that the people in the land have committed, those who lived here before you, and now the land is defiled.

²⁸ Therefore be careful so that the land does not vomit you up also after you have defiled it, as it vomited out the people who were before you.

²⁹ Whoever does any of these detestable things, the persons who do such things will be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore you must keep my command not to practice any of these detestable customs which were practiced here before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am Yahweh your God.'”

²⁴ “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

²⁹ “‘For whoever shall do any of these abominations, even the souls that do them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore you shall keep my requirements, that you do not practice any of these abominable customs which were practiced before you, and that you do not defile yourselves with them. I am Yahweh your God.’”

²⁴ “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

²⁵ The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

²⁶ You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner amongst you

²⁴ Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

²⁵ And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit its iniquity upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.

²⁶ Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you.

²⁷ (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, who were before you, and the land is defiled;)

²⁹ For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

³⁰ Therefore shall ye keep my ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves in them; I am the LORD your God.

²⁴ “‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.

²⁵ The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

²⁶ You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you

²⁴ Be ye not defouled in all these things, in which all folks, either heathen men, be defouled, which folks I shall cast out before your sight,

²⁵ of whom the land is defouled, of which land I shall visit the great sins, that it vomit, or throw out, his dwellers.

²⁶ Keep ye my lawful things, and my dooms, that ye do not any of all these abominations, as well a man born in the land, as a comeling that is a pilgrim with you.

²⁷ For the dwellers of the land, that were before you, did all these abominations, and defouled that land.

²⁸ Therefore beware, lest it cast out vilely you in the same manner, when ye shall do such sins, as it casted out vilely the folk, that was before you.

²⁹ Each man that shall do anything of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people.

³⁰ Keep ye my behests; do not ye do those things, which they that were before you did, and be ye not defouled in those or them; I am your Lord God.

²⁵ of whom the land is defouled, of which land I shall visit the great sins (of them upon it), that it vomit, or throw out, his dwellers. (by whom the land is defiled, of which land I shall visit their great sins upon it, so that it vomit, or throw out, its inhabitants.)

²⁶ Keep ye my lawful things, and my dooms, that ye do not any of all these abominations, as well a man born in the land, as a comeling that is a pilgrim with you.

²⁷ For the dwellers of the land, that were before you, did all (of) these abominations, and defouled that land.

²⁸ Therefore beware, lest it cast out vilely you in the same manner, when ye shall do such sins, as it casted out vilely the folk, that was before you.

²⁹ Each man that shall do anything of these abominations, shall perish from the midst of his people.

³⁰ Keep ye my behests; do not ye do those things, which they that were before you did, and be ye not defouled in those; I am your Lord God. (Obey ye my commands; do not ye do those things, which they who were before you did, and be ye not defiled with them; I am the Lord your God.)

²⁴ Be ye not defoulid in alle these thingis, in whiche alle `folkis, ether hethen men, ben defoulid, whiche folkis Y schal caste out bifor youre siyt,

²⁴ 'Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from before you;

²⁷ (for all these abominations have the men of the land done who are before you, and the land is defiled),

²⁸ and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it, as it hath vomited out the nation which is before you;

²⁹ for any one who doth any of all these abominations — even the persons who are doing so, have been cut off from the midst of their people;

³⁰ 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.'
