Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
