Don't Do as They Do

<p>‘And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,<br> ‘Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the Lord your God.<br> ‘After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: &nbsp;neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.<br> ‘Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: &nbsp;I am the Lord your God.’<br> <em>—Leviticus 18:1-4</em></p>
