24. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25. And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit [any] of these abominations; [neither] any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: 27. (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which [were] before you, and the land is defiled;)

Commentary on Leviticus 18:24

Theological / Devotional

Defile not ye yourselves. The nations round about Israel were guilty of all the sins here enumerated, and were for this reason to be dispossessed. Israel therefore was to avoid similar guilt, or be cast out. The message here given is evidence of the very real danger that confronted them.
