Leviticus 18
1. Unlawful marriages and unlawful lusts














(28) That the land spue not you out also.--Better, Lest the land vomit you out. By unnecessarily translating the same word differently into "vomiteth" in Leviticus 18:25, and "spue" here, as is done in the Authorised Version, the striking connection between the two verses is somewhat weakened.
