Leviticus 18:24-30

International Children’s Bible

²⁴ “‘Don’t make yourself unclean by any of these wrong things. I am forcing nations out of their countries because they did these sins. And I am giving their land to you. ²⁵ The land has become unclean. So I punished it for its sins. And the land is throwing out those people who live there.

²⁶ “‘You must obey my laws and rules. You must not do any of these hated sins. These rules are for the citizens of Israel. They are also for the people who live with you. ²⁷ The people who lived in the land before you did all these hated things. So the land became unclean. ²⁸ If you do these things, you will also make the land unclean. And it will throw you out as it threw out the nations before you. ²⁹ Anyone who does these hated sins must be separated from his people. ³⁰ The people who lived in the land before you have done these hated sins. But you must not do them. You must obey my laws. Don’t make yourself unclean by these hated sins. I am the Lord your God.’”
