21 If a man shall take his brother`s wife, it is impurity: he has uncovered his brother`s nakedness; they shall be childless.
22 You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I bring you to dwell therein, not vomit you out.
23 You shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 But I have said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am Yahweh your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
25 You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make your souls abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean.
