Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes,.... All the ordinances, institutions, and appointments of God, whether observed in this chapter or elsewhere, but particularly those concerning incestuous marriages and unlawful copulations:
and all my judgments, and do them; all the laws and commandments of God, founded injustice and judgment, and according to the rules thereof; or else, as Aben Ezra, the judgments of punishment, or the penalties annexed to the above laws, which were carefully to be observed, and put into execution, to deter from the transgression of them:
that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spew you not out; as the stomach does its food when it is loathsome and nauseous to it, and it cannot bear it; see Leviticus 18:25.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The ground is here again stated on which all these laws of holiness should be obeyed. See Leviticus 18:24-30 note.
Leviticus 20:24
Compare the margin reference.
Leviticus 20:25, Leviticus 20:26
The distinction between clean and unclean for the whole people, and not for any mere section of it, was one great typical mark of âthe kingdom of priests, the holy nation.â See the Leviticus 11:42 note.
Leviticus 20:25
Any manner of living thing that creepeth - Rather, any creeping thing; that is, any vermin. See Leviticus 11:20-23. The reference in this verse is to dead animals, not to the creatures when alive.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Leviticus 20:22. The land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out. — See this energetic prosopopoeia explained in the note on Leviticus 18:25. From this we learn that the cup of the iniquities of the Canaanitish nations was full; and that, consistently with Divine justice, they could be no longer spared.
