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 But you shall keep my statutes and my ordinances and commit none of these abominations, either the citizen or the alien who resides among you

27 (for the inhabitants of the land, who were before you, committed all of these abominations, and the land became defiled);

28 otherwise the land will vomit you out for defiling it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

29 For whoever commits any of these abominations shall be cut off from their people.

30 So keep my charge not to commit any of these abominations that were done before you, and not to defile yourselves by them: I am the Lord your God.
