Leviticus 15:31 You shall teach therefore the children of Israel, to take heed of uncleanness, that they may not die in their filth, when they shall have defiled my tabernacle that is among them.

Teach. So the Septuagint also read. Hebrew, "Thus you shall remove....from their filth." (Houbigant) --- Filth. God threatens to kill them, if they approach unclean. (Menochius) --- St. Jerome (in Gal. v.) understands this of those abominable sins, which ought not to be mentioned. (Worthington)
