THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE NATIONS ARE TO BE AVOIDED. (Deu 18:9-14) thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations--(See on Lev 18:21; Lev 19:26; Lev 19:31; Lev 20:4). In spite of this express command, the people of Canaan, especially the Philistines, were a constant snare and stumbling block to the Israelites, on account of their divinations and superstitious practices.
