Leviticus 18:29 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 18:29

For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations
Before particularly forbid, any of them, be it which it will, they all being very heinous and vile, and especially these last mentioned: even the souls that commit [them];
whether male or female, as Jarchi observes; for the above things concern them both for the most part, however some one, and some another; and though most, if not all the said crimes are committed by the members of the body, yet since under the influence and direction of the soul, the commission of them is attributed to that, and the punishment threatened respects both: shall be cut off from among the people;
be removed from their church state, and deprived of ecclesiastical privileges, and from their civil state, and reckoned no more of the commonwealth of Israel; and if known and convicted, to be punished by the civil magistrate, and if not, by the immediate hand of God.

Leviticus 18:29 In-Context

27 The people of the land who were there before you did all these disgusting things. As a result, the land has become unclean.
28 If you make the land unclean, it will vomit you out as it has vomited out the people who were there before you.
29 Whoever does any of these disgusting things must be excluded from the people.
30 So you must follow my instructions. Don't live by the standards of the people who lived there before you. What they do is disgusting. Never become unclean that way. I am the LORD your God."
