📚 Historical Context

This verse comes from God's instructions to the Israelites about sexual purity and moral conduct as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. God was warning them not to follow the immoral practices of the Canaanite nations who previously occupied the land, explaining that these very sins were why He was driving out those nations before Israel.
