22Obey all my laws/decrees DOU carefully, in order that you will not be forced to leave MET the land to which I am bringing you.
23Do not imitate/adopt the customs of the people of the land from which I will expel them as you advance. I hated them because they did all those things.
24But I said to you, “You will take their land from them; I will give it to you to be yours, a land that is very fertile IDM. I am Yahweh your God, who has set you apart from the people of other nations.”
25So you must distinguish between birds and animals that are unacceptable to me and those that are acceptable to me. Do not defile yourselves by eating birds or animals, or anything that crawls along on the ground, that I have said are unacceptable for you.
26You must behave in ways that I consider to be holy, because I, Yahweh, am holy, and I have set you apart from the ungodly people of other nations to belong to me.
27You must execute any man or woman among you who ◄consults/talks with► the spirits of dead people or who is a fortune-teller. Kill them by throwing stones at them; but they will be responsible for their own deaths.’”
