But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 20 of Leviticus. The conclusion again unites obedience, separation from the nations, and purity. Israel must distinguish between clean and unclean because it has been set apart to belong to God, while prohibited practices can bring communal defilement.

Euch aber sage ich: Ihr sollt jener Land besitzen; denn ich will euch ein Land zum Erbe geben, darin Milch und Honig fließt. Ich bin der HERR, euer Gott, der euch von allen Völkern abgesondert hat,
Empero a vosotros os he dicho: Vosotros poseeréis la tierra de ellos, y yo os la daré para que la poseáis por heredad, tierra que fluye leche y miel: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios, que os he apartado de los pueblos.
Y les he dicho: ‘Ustedes heredarán la tierra de ellos; yo se la daré en posesión, una tierra que fluye leche y miel’. Yo soy Jehová su Dios, que los aparté de los pueblos.
Je vous ai dit: C'est vous qui posséderez leur pays; je vous en donnerai la possession: c'est un pays où coulent le lait et le miel. Je suis l'Eternel, votre Dieu, qui vous ai séparés des peuples.
E io vi ho detto: Voi possederete la terra loro, e io ve la darò per possederla; terra stillante latte e miele. Io sono il Signore Iddio vostro, che vi ho separati dagli altri popoli.
E a vós vos tenho dito: Em herança possuireis a sua terra, e eu a darei a vós, para a possuirdes, terra que mana leite e mel. Eu sou o SENHOR vosso Deus, que vos separei dos povos.
但我對你們說過,你們要承受他們的土地;我要把這流奶與蜜之地賜給你們,作為你們的產業。我是耶和華-你們的上帝,是把你們從萬民中分別出來的。
