Context of Leviticus 18:26

24Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out from before you: 25And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land vomiteth out her inhabitants. Ye therefore shall keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not do any of these abominations; neither the homeborn, nor the stranger that sojourneth among you: 27(for all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) 28that the land vomit not you out also, when ye defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
