I am leading you to your own land, and if you obey my laws and rules, that land will not throw you out. I am forcing out ahead of you the people who live there.

Do not live the way those people lived. “ ‘I have told you that you will get their land, which I will give to you as your very own; it is a fertile land. I am the LORD your God, and I have set you apart from other people and made you my own. So you must treat clean animals and birds differently from unclean animals and birds. Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these unclean birds or animals or things that crawl on the ground, which I have made unclean for you. So you must be holy to me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from other people to be my own. “ ‘A man or woman who is a medium or a fortune-teller must be put to death. You must stone them to death; they have brought it on themselves.’ ”
