Listen to Levítico 18:24-28
24 N茫o vos contamineis com nenhuma dessas coisas, porque com todas elas se contaminaram as na莽玫es que eu expulso de diante de v贸s;
25 e, porquanto a terra est谩 contaminada, eu visito sobre ela a sua iniq眉idade, e a terra vomita os seus habitantes.
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.

Levítico 18:24-28 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 18

In this chapter the Israelites are directed in general not to imitate the customs and practices of the Egyptians and Canaanites, but to keep the ordinances, statutes, and judgments of the Lord, Le 18:1-5; and they are instructed particularly to avoid incestuous marriages, Le 18:6-18; carnal copulation with a menstruous woman, Le 18:19; adultery, Le 18:20; letting any of their seed pass through the fire to Molech, Le 18:21; sodomy, Le 18:22; and bestiality, Le 18:23; and they are deterred from these things by observing to them the pollution and destruction which they brought on the inhabitants of Canaan, and would bring the same on them should they commit them, Le 18:24-30.
