4 You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God.
4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the Lord your God.
4 You shall follow my rules
4 Obey my laws and live by my decrees. I am your God.
4 You shall observe My judgments and keep My ordinances, to walk in them: I am the Lord your God.
4 You must obey all my regulations and be careful to obey my decrees, for I am the Lord your God.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 18:4
Chapter Contents
Unlawful marriages and fleshly lusts.
Here is a law against all conformity to the corrupt usages of the heathen. Also laws against incest, against brutal lusts, and barbarous idolatries; and the enforcement of these laws from the ruin of the Canaanites. God here gives moral precepts. Close and constant adherence to God's ordinances is the most effectual preservative from gross sin. The grace of God only will secure us; that grace is to be expected only in the use of the means of grace. Nor does He ever leave any to their hearts' lusts, till they have left him and his services.
