Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 18:24-30

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.

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

²⁶You 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);

²⁸that 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.

³⁰Therefore 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.’”
