Leviticus 18:26

26 But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances. You must not commit any of these abominations-not the native or the foreigner who lives among you.

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 "Do not defile yourselves by any of these [practices], for the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves by all these things.
25 The land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.
26 But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances. You must not commit any of these abominations-not the native or the foreigner who lives among you.
27 For the men who were in the land prior to you have committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.
28 If you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it has vomited out the nations that were before you.
