23 You must not live according to the customs of the nations I am going to drive out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.
23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
23 And you shall not walk in the customs of the nation that I am driving out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I detested them.
23 You simply must not live like the nations I'm driving out before you. They did all these things and I hated every minute of it.
23 And you shall not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they commit all these things, and therefore I abhor them.
23 Do not live according to the customs of the people I am driving out before you. It is because they do these shameful things that I detest them.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 20:23
Commentary on Leviticus 20:10-27
(Read Leviticus 20:10-27)
These verses repeat what had been said before, but it was needful there should be line upon line. What praises we owe to God that he has taught the evil of sin, and the sure way of deliverance from it! May we have grace to adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things; may we have no fellowship with unfruitful works of darkness, but reprove them.
