Leviticus 20:23Tree of Life VersionYou are not to walk in the ways of the nation which I am casting out before you, for they did all these things and therefore I abhorred them. See the chapter |
It is not by your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to possess their land. Rather, because of the wickedness of these nations, Adonai your God is driving them out from before you, and in order to keep the word Adonai swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
