[[Lev-18]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Lev-17]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Lev-19]] --- ### that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A divine warning and prediction that the Israelites would face national expulsion and exile from their promised land if they adopted the forbidden practices and sexual immoralities of the previous inhabitants. *Historical context*: Theological and historical analysis identifies the Assyrian Exile (722 BCE) and the Babylonian Exile (586 BCE) as the specific fulfillments of this warning. The biblical records in [[2 Kings|2 Kings 17]] and [[2 Chron|2 Chronicles 36]] explicitly attribute the deportation of the population to their violation of the holiness statutes and their imitation of the 'abominations' of the nations listed in [[Lev|Leviticus 18]]. *Related to*: ### the nations which I am casting out before you were defiled. The land was defiled. Therefore I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out her inhabitants. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The historical removal and judgment of the Canaanite tribes from the land. *Historical context*: This process, described as currently occurring or imminent in the text, is the fulfillment of the prophecy given to Abraham in [[Gen-15#v16|Genesis 15:16]], where God stated that his descendants would return to the land only after the 'iniquity of the Amorites' was complete. The moral 'defilement' described in [[Lev|Leviticus 18]] marks the completion of that measure of iniquity, leading to the conquest under Joshua. *Related to*: [[Gen-15#v16|Genesis 15:16]] --- #ai_prophecy
