Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against The LORD.

25. The land was defiled: therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants.

26. You therefore shall keep my statutes and my ordinances, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the native-born, nor the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you;

27. (for the men of the land that were before you had done all these abominations, and the land became defiled);

28. that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
