^{24 Ref} 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 Ref} And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants.

^{26 Ref} 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 Ref} (for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land is defiled);

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