SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:9
¶ Cuando hubieres entrado en la tierra que el SEÑOR tu Dios te da, no aprenderás a hacer según las abominaciones de aquellos gentiles.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee , etc.] The land of Canaan, often thus described, to express the goodness of God in bestowing it on them, as a mere favour of his, without any desert of theirs; and so typical of the heavenly Canaan, or eternal life, which is the free gift of God through Christ: thou shall not learn to do after the abominations of these nations ; the seven nations which before inhabited it; they might learn, as Jarchi observes, to know how corrupt their works were, and to show to their children, that they might not do so; but they were not to learn them so as to practise them, but to have them in the utmost abhorrence, as being abominable to God, and which should be so to them; some of which are as follow.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-14 - Was it possible that a people so blessed with Divine institutions should ever be in any danger of making those their teachers whom God had made their captives? They were in danger; therefore, after man like cautions, they are charged not to do after the abominations of the nations of Canaan. All reckoning of lucky or unlucky days, all charm for diseases, all amulets or spells to prevent evil, fortune-telling &c. are here forbidden. These are so wicked as to be a chief cause of the rooting out of the Canaanites. It is amazing to think that ther should be any pretenders of this kind in such a land, and day of light as we live in. They are mere impostors who blind and cheat their followers.
