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: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.

Ihr sollt nicht tun nach den Werken des Landes Ägypten, darin ihr gewohnt habt, auch nicht nach den Werken des Landes Kanaan, darein ich euch führen will; ihr sollt auch nach ihrer Weise nicht halten;
No haréis como hacen en la tierra de Egipto, en la cual morasteis; ni haréis como hacen en la tierra de Canaán, a la cual yo os conduzco; ni andaréis en sus estatutos.
No harán lo que se hace en la tierra de Egipto, donde vivieron, ni harán lo que se hace en la tierra de Canaán, adonde los llevo. No seguirán sus costumbres.
Vous ne ferez point ce qui se fait dans le pays d'Egypte où vous avez habité, et vous ne ferez point ce qui se fait dans le pays de Canaan où je vous mène: vous ne suivrez point leurs usages.
Non fate secondo l’opere del paese di Egitto, nel quale siete dimorati; non fate altresì secondo l’opere del paese di Canaan, dove io vi conduco; e non procedete secondo i lor costumi.
Não fareis segundo as obras da terra do Egito, em que habitastes, nem fareis segundo as obras da terra de Canaã, para a qual vos levo, nem andareis nos seus estatutos.
你們不可做你們從前住 埃及 地的人所做的,也不可做我要領你們去的 迦南 地的人所做的。你們不可照他們的習俗行。
