KJV ORIGINAL
Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Listen, when the people of Israel were living in their own land, they completely messed it up with their choices and actions. The way they were living was so impure to me — like something that was ceremonially unclean and had to be set apart.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Israel's choices made their promised land feel contaminated to God.
