Leviticus 18:26-28

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁶ But you yourselves must keep my regulations and ordinances. You must not practice any of these abominations. This applies both to the native and to the alien who resides among you. ²⁷ Because the people of the land who were there before you practiced all these abominations, the land became unclean. ²⁸ So do not let the land vomit you out for making it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was there before you.
