Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

BrLXX Καὶ οὐχὶ πορεύεσθε τοῖς νομίμοις τῶν ἐθνῶν, οὓς ἐξαποστέλλω ἀφʼ ὑμῶν· ὅτι ταῦτα πάντα ἐποίησαν, καὶ ἐβδελυξάμην αὐτούς.

20:9-27 Because pagan worship affected ethics, the regulations for families follow immediately after those dealing with pagan religious practices. To some extent, the laws of this section replicate those of 18:6-30, which precede the section dealing with proper expressions of holiness (19:1-37). These were all related issues, as the proper worship of God led to proper conduct toward other people, while improper worship of God led to moral violations.

follow & (Some words not found in UHB: and=not follow in/on/at/with,customs the,nation which/who I driving_out from,before,you_all that/for/because/then/when DOM all/each/any/every these they_had_acquired and,abhorred in/on/at/with,them )
Here and throughout this chapter, the words you and your are plural. They refer to the people of Israel, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְלֹ֤א תֵֽלְכוּ֙ בְּחֻקֹּ֣ת הַגּ֔וֹי
(Some words not found in UHB: and=not follow in/on/at/with,customs the,nation which/who I driving_out from,before,you_all that/for/because/then/when DOM all/each/any/every these they_had_acquired and,abhorred in/on/at/with,them )
Here, the word walk is used as a metaphor to describe a habitual lifestyle. In context, the metaphor describes a practice of living that models itself after the practices of the people of the nations who live around Israel. If your language has a similar metaphor, consider using it here. If not, consider using a generic expression. Alternate translation: “And you shall not follow the statutes of the nation” or “And you shall not make a practice of living according to the statutes of the nation”

which/who I driving_out (Some words not found in UHB: and=not follow in/on/at/with,customs the,nation which/who I driving_out from,before,you_all that/for/because/then/when DOM all/each/any/every these they_had_acquired and,abhorred in/on/at/with,them )
Here, face represents the presence of a person. In this expression, Yahweh is removing the nation that currently lives in the land from before Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “that I am sending away from your presence” or “that I am sending from before you”
