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 (because the people of the land, who [were] {before you}, did all these detestable things, so the land became unclean),
28 so that the land will not vomit you out when you make it unclean [just] as it vomited out the nation that [was] {before you}.
29 Indeed, anyone who does any of these detestable things, even those persons who do so shall be cut off from the midst of their people.
30 Thus you shall keep my obligation to not do any of the statutes {regarding} the detestable things that they did {before you}, so that you will not make yourselves unclean by them; I [am] Yahweh your God.'"
