24 'Hence I have said to you, " You are to possess their land , and I Myself will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey ." I am the Lord your God , who has separated you from the peoples . 25 ' You are therefore to make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean , and between the unclean bird and the clean ; and you shall not make yourselves detestable by animal or by bird or by anything that creeps on the ground , which I have separated for you as unclean . 26 'Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy ; and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Leviticus 20:24-26
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.
