Levítico 18:28 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 18:28

That the land spew not you out also, when ye defile it
By sinning on it, and so rendering it obnoxious to the curse of God, as the whole earth originally was for the sin of man; and so be cast out of it, as Adam was out of paradise, and as the Israelites might expect to be cast out of Canaan, as the old inhabitants of it had been: as it spewed out the nations that [were] before you;
which for the certainty of it is spoken of as done, though it was as yet future; and what the Lord did is ascribed to the land, the more to aggravate their crying sins and abominations, for which the land mourned, and which it could not bear.

26 V贸s, pois, guardareis os meus estatutos e os meus preceitos, e nenhuma dessas abomina莽玫es fareis, nem o natural, nem o estrangeiro que peregrina entre v贸s
27 (porque todas essas abomina莽玫es cometeram os homens da terra, que nela estavam antes de v贸s, e a terra ficou contaminada);
28 para que a terra n茫o seja contaminada por v贸s e n茫o vos vomite tamb茅m a v贸s, como vomitou a na莽茫o que nela estava antes de v贸s.
29 Pois qualquer que cometer alguma dessas abomina莽玫es, sim, aqueles que as cometerem ser茫o extirpados do seu povo.
30 Portanto guardareis o meu mandamento, de modo que n茫o caiais em nenhum desses abomin谩veis costumes que antes de v贸s foram seguidos, e para que n茫o vos contamineis com eles. Eu sou o Senhor vosso Deus.
