Leviticus 18:24
Leviticus 18:24 in Multiple Translations

Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you;
Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:
A woman must not give herself to an animal to have sex with it. That is something disgusting. Don't pollute yourselves and make yourselves unclean by doing anything like this. That's the reason I'm expelling these nations from the land—they polluted themselves because of all these practices.
Yee shall not defile your selues in any of these things: for in al these the nations are defiled, which I will cast out before you:
'Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from before you;
“‘Don’t defile yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled.
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
Defile not yourselves with any of these things with which all the nations have been defiled, which I will cast out before you,
“Do not ◄defile yourselves/cause yourselves to become unacceptable to me► in any of those ways, because doing those things is how the people of the nations that I expelled as you advanced became ◄unacceptable to me/defiled►.

22You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.
23You must not lie carnally with any animal, thus defiling yourself with it; a woman must not stand before an animal to mate with it; that is a perversion.

25Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants. 26But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.Cross References

Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.” Once again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “All of you, listen to Me and understand: Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.” After Jesus had left the crowd and gone into the house, His disciples inquired about the parable. “Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him, because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.) He continued: “What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him. For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.” |
Leviticus 18:24 Summary
In Leviticus 18:24, God is warning the Israelites not to engage in sinful practices that will defile them, just like the nations that they are driving out. To defile ourselves means to make ourselves unclean or impure, which can happen when we do things that are against God's laws, like the things mentioned in Leviticus 18:22-23. We can avoid defiling ourselves by following God's ways, as taught in Psalm 119:9-11, and by keeping His statutes and ordinances, as commanded in Leviticus 18:26. By doing so, we can stay pure and undefiled, and live in a way that is pleasing to God, as also taught in 1 Thessalonians 4:7.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'defile' ourselves in Leviticus 18:24?
To defile ourselves means to make ourselves unclean or impure, which can happen when we engage in sinful practices, as warned against in Leviticus 18:22-23, and as seen in the consequences for the nations in Leviticus 18:25, and also warned in Deuteronomy 18:9-12.
Why are the nations being driven out in Leviticus 18:24?
The nations are being driven out because of their sinful practices, which have defiled the land, as seen in Leviticus 18:25 and also in Deuteronomy 9:4-5, where God says He is not giving the land to the Israelites because of their righteousness, but because of the wickedness of the nations.
How can we avoid defiling ourselves according to Leviticus 18:24?
We can avoid defiling ourselves by keeping God's statutes and ordinances, as commanded in Leviticus 18:26, and by avoiding the sinful practices mentioned in Leviticus 18:22-23, and instead following God's ways, as taught in Psalm 119:9-11 and Proverbs 3:1-2.
What is the consequence of defiling the land in Leviticus 18:24?
The consequence of defiling the land is that it will 'vomit out its inhabitants' as seen in Leviticus 18:25, which means that God will remove the people from the land as a result of their sin, as also warned in Leviticus 26:32-35 and Deuteronomy 28:63.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I may be defiling myself, and how can I turn away from those practices?
- How can I keep God's statutes and ordinances in my daily life, as commanded in Leviticus 18:26?
- What are some sinful practices that are prevalent in my culture or community, and how can I avoid being influenced by them?
- How can I help others to understand the importance of avoiding defilement and following God's ways?
- What are some ways that I can seek to keep myself pure and undefiled, as taught in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 and 2 Corinthians 7:1?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 18:24
In all these, to wit, above-mentioned sins. Whence it is apparent that the several incests here prohibited are not only against the positive and particular law given by God to the Jews, but also against the general law and light of nature. And therefore the law about these things was one of the seven precepts of Noah. And the sober heathens condemned such incestuous marriages. The Roman historians observe, that when Claudius the emperor had married his niece, (which is one of the lowest kinds of incest here mentioned,) and the senate in complaisance with him had made it lawful for any to do so, yet there was but one, and he too an obscure person, that followed his example.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 18:24
Leviticus 18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:Ver. 24. The nations are defiled.] And yet are not the Scriptures defiled, by providing against such filthinesses, no more than the sunbeams are by shining upon a stinking lake.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 18:24
(24) Defile not ye yourselves.—The Lawgiver who solemnly introduced these precepts by five verses of preamble at the beginning of the chapter (Leviticus 18:1-5), now concludes by an equally solemn appeal to God’s people sacredly to observe them in all their integrity, since the violation of them (Leviticus 18:6-23) has branded those nations with infamy, and brought about their national destruction, and expulsion from the very land which is now to be given to the Israelites.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 18:24
24–30. See general note at the beginning of the ch. These vv. are probably expanded from earlier materials. After the warning in Leviticus 18:24 the standpoint changes, and the remainder of the passage is a reflection on the past, the verbs being really in the past tense, were defiled, was defiled, I visited, (the land) vomited.
