Leviticus 18:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴ “ ‘Do not make yourselves “unclean” in any of these ways. That is how other nations became “unclean.” So I am going to drive those nations out of the land to make room for you. ²⁵ Even their land was not “clean.” So I punished it because of its sin. The land itself threw out the people who lived there. ²⁶ But you must keep my rules and my laws. You must not do any of the things I hate. It does not matter whether you are Israelites or outsiders.
