²² Moreover ^(A)I have given to you one ^[a]portion above your brothers, which I took from the hand ^(B)of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.”

^24 (A)‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; ^(B)for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. ²⁵ For ^(C)the land is defiled; therefore I ^(D)visit^[a] the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land ^(E)vomits out its inhabitants. ^26 (F)You shall therefore ^[b]keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you ²⁷ (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), ²⁸ lest ^(G)the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.

²⁶ And he behaved very abominably in following idols, according to all ^(A)that the Amorites had done, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
