Immorality made the land unfit and unwholesome for GOD’s people, which made evil influence contaminate them and lead them astray, it made them unfit, the land become corrupted, defiled, despicable because of immorality, GOD punished the land because of the detestable sin, the land vomited or removed the people from the land, in all these the nations are defiled which GOD cast out before them. Ancient history gives many appalling proofs that the enormous vices described in the various chapter were very prevalent and regular practice from religious motives in the temples of Egypt and grooves of Canaan, and it was these gigantic social disorders that occasioned the expulsion, of the inhabitants, the Israelite were urged to a pure and holy life, to make room for the Israelite, the fate of the Canaanites was therefore a witness to them what will be their fate if they did like them, it was upon this high sanction that they are authoritatively forbidden not to defile themselves with the pollutions of the Pagan practice of the corruptible sinners of Canaanites And the land itself vomited out her inhabitants; as a stomach loaded with corrupt and bad food it has taken in, disgusts it, and cannot bear and retain it, but cast it out The believer must not allow any of such immoral behavior, defied not yourselves in any of these things he must obey GOD, live a holy, moral and pure life.

They must pray for the removal of the judgment and seek His face and favor, GOD’S people must diligently turn to HIM with their whole heart and long for His presence and ask for forgiveness, they must also seek deliverance from His reprimand and discipline, they must repent, turn away from their sinful behavior and turn back to GOD, they must genuinely they must repent by from all forms of idolatry, renounce conformity to the world, confessing and humbling themselves and draw nearer to GOD, and even praying and asking forgiveness , their sincerity and truthfulness would be proven only when they turn away from their sin, thus repentance is always necessary to receive the forgiveness and salvation of GOD, He will forgive their wicked ways and heal their land, He will stop the hand of judgment and the people will recover from their loss, both individuals and the nations would experience the mercy and forgiveness of GOD, and the land owned by repentance of individuals and by the nation as a whole would be healed no matter what a person’s occupation or position in life, if he confessed and humble himself before the LORD, praying and seeking Him and repenting of his wicked ways GOD would forgive and heal both the repentant sinner and the nation
