Leviticus 18:26 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 18:26

Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments
Before observed to them, whether of a ceremonial nature, and enjoined them according to his sovereign will and pleasure; or of a moral nature, and founded in justice and equity, and so worthy of their regard, and obligatory upon them; as well as in their own nature they recommended themselves to their regard, as being the reverse of those loathsome and abominable things before dehorted from: and shall not commit [any] of these abominations;
such as incest, adultery, idolatry, and bestiality, which are in themselves abominable things, execrable to God, and to be detested by men: [neither] any of your own nation;
that belonged to any of their own tribes, or should be born to them in the land of Canaan when they came thither, and were properly natives of it: nor any stranger that sojourneth among you;
any proselyte, and especially a proselyte of righteousness, who conformed to the Jewish religion, and had laid himself under obligation to do everything that was binding upon an Israelite.

Leviticus 18:26 In-Context

24 Defile not youre selues in any of these thinges, for with all these thinges are these nacions defiled whiche I cast out before you:
25 and the lande is defiled, and I will visett the wykednesse thereof apon it. and the lande shal spewe out hir inhabiters.
26 Kepe ye therfore myne ordinaunces and iudgementes, and se that ye commytt none of these abominacions: nether any of you nor ony straunger that soiourneth amonge you
27 (for all these abhominacions haue the men of the lande done whiche were there before you, and the lande is defiled)
28 lest that the lande spewe you out when ye haue defiled it, as it spewed out the nacions that where there before you.
