DEUTERONOMY 18:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.”
When you come into the land that the LORD your God is giving you, you must not learn to imitate the abhorrent practices of those nations — the explicit warning against adopting Canaanite religious practices frames the entire subsequent catalog of prohibited practices as foreign corruptions that would compromise Israel's covenantal distinctiveness.
