In Leviticus 18, God tells Moses to instruct the Israelites not to do the wicked things that the Egyptians and the Canaanites practice, but rather obey God's decrees and laws. The Lord said, " Keep my decrees, for the man who obeys them will live by them. I am the Lord." God asks them not to defile themselves like those whom He is going to drive out of Canaan. "Everyone who does any of these detestable things--such persons must be cut off from their people... I am the Lord your God."
