Imamat 18:24

Warning against the Abominations of the Nations

18:24 “‘Do not defile yourselves with any of these things, for the nations which I am about to drive out before you ¹  have been defiled with all these things.

Imamat 18:27

18:27 for the people who were in the land before you have done all these abominations, ²  and the land has become unclean.

[18:24]  ¹ tn Heb “which I am sending away (Piel participle of שָׁלַח [shalakh, “to send”]) from your faces.” The rendering here takes the participle as anticipatory of the coming conquest events.

[18:27]  ² tn Heb “for all these abominations the men of the land who were before you have done.”
