Leviticus 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.

Leviticus 18:28 In-Context

26 And ye shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and ye shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:
27 (for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled,)
28 and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.
29 For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people.
30 And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and ye shall not be polluted in them; for I the Lord your God.
