“Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:”
King James Version (KJV)
18:25 I visit - I am about to visit, that is, to punish.
18:26 Nor any stranger - In nation or religion, of what kind soever. For though they might not force them to submit to their religion, yet they might restrain them from the publick contempt of the Jewish laws, and from the violation of natural laws, which, besides the offence against God and nature, were matters of evil example to the Israelites themselves.
