Whilst Chapters 11-15 dealt with uncleanness from the point of view of a disease or issue over which man had no control the law now turns to uncleanness cause by the actions of the person. No one had to violate any to the provision of the law s outlined in this chapter but if they did they were as unclean as the one who was unclean through no choice of their own.

The reference to clean and unclean food (v 25) leads us to consider the variations in God’s law about food given at different times:
a) Eden to the flood: a vegetarian diet Gen 1:29,30
b) The Flood until Law of Moses: anything, but no blood Gen 9:3,4
c) Law of Moses until Christ’s death : clean food only
d) Christian era: anything, but no blood Acts 10:9-15 and Acts 15:29

V.23 The lesson of the Mosaic shadow is plain. Unholiness of body or of the heart will evoke death; but true sacrifice brought in the hands of daily prayer, will ensure forgiveness if holiness is followed."without which no man shall see the Lord" Heb 12:14

In the Land, Israelites would be surrounded by nations that performed abominable practices. It was o.k. because everybody did it. But, Yahweh insisted that His people abide by His laws and remained separate from society’s mores. But, later, the subtle pulls and pushes of the surrounding nations would gradually lead Israel astray.
We find ourselves in a similar position today. This permissive world says it’s ok to do this or that - everyone’s doing it. Many people think that if society says it’s ok then it must be. Only if we are deeply rooted in faith will we be able to resist any invitation to join the world’s party (James 4:7). The only way to build up faith is by reading the scriptures (Rom 10:17). Constant communication with Our Heavenly Father is also essential for success (1Thess 5:17; Heb 4:15,16).

1. And the LORD <3068> spake <1696>(8762) unto Moses <4872>, saying <559>(8800),
2. Again, thou shalt say <559>(8799) to the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, Whosoever <376> he be of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, or of the strangers <1616> that sojourn <1481>(8802) in Israel <3478>, that giveth <5414>(8799) any of his seed <2233> unto Molech <4432>; he shall surely <4191>(8800) be put to death <4191>(8714): the people <5971> of the land <776> shall stone <7275>(8799) him with stones <68>.
3. And I will set <5414>(8799) my face <6440> against that man <376>, and will cut him off <3772>(8689) from among <7130> his people <5971>; because he hath given <5414>(8804) of his seed <2233> unto Molech <4432>, to defile <2930>(8763) my sanctuary <4720>, and to profane <2490>(8763) my holy <6944> name <8034>.
4. And if the people <5971> of the land <776> do any ways <5956>(8687) hide <5956>(8686) their eyes <5869> from the man <376>, when he giveth <5414>(8800) of his seed <2233> unto Molech <4432>, and kill <4191>(8687) him not <1115>:

9. For every <376> one <376> that curseth <7043>(8762) his father <1> or his mother <517> shall be surely <4191>(8800) put to death <4191>(8714): he hath cursed <7043>(8765) his father <1> or his mother <517>; his blood <1818> shall be upon him.
10. And the man <376> that committeth adultery <5003>(8799) with another man's <376> wife <802>, even he that committeth adultery <5003>(8799) with his neighbour's <7453> wife <802>, the adulterer <5003>(8802) and the adulteress <5003>(8802) shall surely <4191>(8800) be put to death <4191>(8714).

12. And if a man <376> lie <7901>(8799) with his daughter in law <3618>, both <8147> of them shall surely <4191>(8800) be put to death <4191>(8714): they have wrought <6213>(8804) confusion <8397>; their blood <1818> shall be upon them.
13. If a man <376> also lie <7901>(8799) with mankind <2145>, as he lieth <4904> with a woman <802>, both <8147> of them have committed <6213>(8804) an abomination <8441>: they shall surely <4191>(8800) be put to death <4191>(8714); their blood <1818> shall be upon them.
14. And if a man <376> take <3947>(8799) a wife <802> and her mother <517>, it is wickedness <2154>: they shall be burnt <8313>(8799) with fire <784>, both he and they; that there be no wickedness <2154> among <8432> you.
15. And if a man <376> lie <5414>(8799) <7903> with a beast <929>, he shall surely <4191>(8800) be put to death <4191>(8714): and ye shall slay <2026>(8799) the beast <929>.
16. And if a woman <802> approach <7126>(8799) unto any beast <929>, and lie down <7250>(8800) thereto, thou shalt kill <2026>(8804) the woman <802>, and the beast <929>: they shall surely <4191>(8800) be put to death <4191>(8714); their blood <1818> shall be upon them.
17. And if a man <376> shall take <3947>(8799) his sister <269>, his father's <1> daughter <1323>, or <176> his mother's <517> daughter <1323>, and see <7200>(8804) her nakedness <6172>, and she see <7200>(8799) his nakedness <6172>; it is a wicked thing <2617>; and they shall be cut off <3772>(8738) in the sight <5869> of their people <5971> <1121>: he hath uncovered <1540>(8765) his sister's <269> nakedness <6172>; he shall bear <5375>(8799) his iniquity <5771>.
18. And if a man <376> shall lie <7901>(8799) with a woman <802> having her sickness <1739>, and shall uncover <1540>(8765) her nakedness <6172>; he hath discovered <6168>(8689) her fountain <4726>, and she hath uncovered <1540>(8765) the fountain <4726> of her blood <1818>: and both <8147> of them shall be cut off <3772>(8738) from among <7130> their people <5971>.
19. And thou shalt not uncover <1540>(8762) the nakedness <6172> of thy mother's <517> sister <269>, nor of thy father's <1> sister <269>: for he uncovereth <6168>(8689) his near kin <7607>: they shall bear <5375>(8799) their iniquity <5771>.
20. And if a man <376> shall lie <7901>(8799) with his uncle's wife <1733>, he hath uncovered <1540>(8765) his uncle's <1730> nakedness <6172>: they shall bear <5375>(8799) their sin <2399>; they shall die <4191>(8799) childless <6185>.
21. And if a man <376> shall take <3947>(8799) his brother's <251> wife <802>, it is an unclean thing <5079>: he hath uncovered <1540>(8765) his brother's <251> nakedness <6172>; they shall be childless <6185>.
22. Ye shall therefore keep <8104>(8804) all my statutes <2708>, and all my judgments <4941>, and do <6213>(8804) them: that the land <776>, whither I bring <935>(8688) you to dwell <3427>(8800) therein, spue you not out <6958>(8686).
23. And ye shall not walk <3212>(8799) in the manners <2708> of the nation <1471>, which I cast out <7971>(8764) before <6440> you: for they committed <6213>(8804) all these things, and therefore I abhorred <6973>(8799) them.
24. But I have said <559>(8799) unto you, Ye shall inherit <3423>(8799) their land <127>, and I will give <5414>(8799) it unto you to possess <3423>(8800) it, a land <776> that floweth <2100>(8802) with milk <2461> and honey <1706>: I am the LORD <3068> your God <430>, which have separated <914>(8689) you from other people <5971>.
25. Ye shall therefore put difference <914>(8689) between clean <2889> beasts <929> and unclean <2931>, and between unclean <2931> fowls <5775> and clean <2889>: and ye shall not make your souls <5315> abominable <8262>(8762) by beast <929>, or by fowl <5775>, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth <7430>(8799) on the ground <127>, which I have separated <914>(8689) from you as unclean <2930>(8763).
26. And ye shall be holy <6918> unto me: for I the LORD <3068> am holy <6918>, and have severed <914>(8686) you from other people <5971>, that ye should be mine.
27. A man <376> also or woman <802> that hath <3588> a familiar spirit <178>, or that is a wizard <3049>, shall surely <4191>(8800) be put to death <4191>(8714): they shall stone <7275>(8799) them with stones <68>: their blood <1818> shall be upon them.
Notes that are not verse specific
This long psalm concludes with the thought that despite all his protestations that he has put God’s Word within his heart, he is still like a lost sheep. He needs finding, and rescuing. I wonder if Jesus was thinking of this verse when He told His story about the lost sheep, and the resulting joy in Heaven when it was found? (Luke 15:3-7)

v147 Prevent here doesn't mean that he stopped the day dawning, simply that he rose before dawn. Compare with the similar action of Jesus in Mark 1:35.

Notes that are not verse specific
Luke 1:36 tells us that Mary and Elisabeth were cousins.
It is not certain that the term cousin refers to the children of brothers or sisters, as we understand it, or simply a relative of some kind.
Assuming that Mary and Elisabeth were first cousins, Jesus and John would be second cousins.
John was six months older that Jesus. His father was from a priestly line while his mother was a descendant of Aaron. He was a Nazarite and his role was to prepare the people for the coming of the Messiah. As such, he came in the spirit and power of Elijah. His ministry ended and the Lord's began when they were both thirty.

Note exactly where John the Baptist was when the Word of God came to him. Not in the opulent palaces of the 'great & good' listed in the first two verses, but in the wilderness! And his food was no sumptuous banquet either: locusts and wild honey. The wild honey would possibly be palatable to us, but the locusts? Hmmm...!
The lesson for us is clear: if we want to really absorb and retain the Word of God and become as highly valued by our Father as John was (Matt. 11:11), then our minds have to be a wilderness as far as the aspirations & ambitions of this world are concerned and instead fill our minds with the Word of God and put it into practice daily. We in the Western world all need to "go and learn what that meaneth" (Matt 9:13).
My grandfather never became a brother, but I clearly remember him saying "the more you've got, the more you've got to worry about". Not only to worry about, but more to crowd out the still, small voice of God's Word. Neither John the Baptist nor our Lord ever had many possessions to worry about. In our Lord's case, that meant he had no bed either! (Matt 8:20)
John's and our Lord's example in this regard put me to shame.

As <5613> it is written <1125>(5769) in <1722> the book <976> of the words <3056> of Esaias <2268> the prophet <4396>, saying <3004>(5723), The voice <5456> of one crying <994>(5723) in <1722> the wilderness <2048>, Prepare ye <2090>(5657) the way <3598> of the Lord <2962>, make <4160>(5720) his <846> paths <5147> straight <2117>.
5. Every <3956> valley <5327> shall be <2071>(5704) filled <4137>(5701), and <2532> every <3956> mountain <3735> and <2532> hill <1015> shall be brought low <5013>(5701); and <2532> the crooked <4646> shall be made <1519> straight <2117>, and <2532> the rough <5138> ways <3598> shall be made <1519> smooth <3006>;
6. And <2532> all <3956> flesh <4561> shall see <3700>(5695) the salvation <4992> of God <2316>.
7. Then <3767> said <3004>(5707) he to the multitude <3793> that came forth <1607>(5740)(5734) to be baptized <907>(5683) of <5259> him <846>, O generation <1081> of vipers <2191>, who <5101> hath warned <5263>(5656) you <5213> to flee <5343>(5629) from <575> the wrath <3709> to come <3195>(5723)?
8. Bring forth <4160>(5657) therefore <3767> fruits <2590> worthy <514> of repentance <3341>, and <2532> begin <756>(5672) not <3361> to say <3004>(5721) within <1722> yourselves <1438>, We have <2192>(5719) Abraham <11> to our father <3962>: for <1063> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, That <3754> God <2316> is able <1410>(5736) of <1537> these <5130> stones <3037> to raise up <1453>(5658) children <5043> unto Abraham <11>.
9. And <1161> now <2235> also <2532> the axe <513> is laid <2749>(5736) unto <4314> the root <4491> of the trees <1186>: every <3956> tree <1186> therefore <3767> which bringeth <4160> <0> not <3361> forth <4160>(5723) good <2570> fruit <2590> is hewn down <1581>(5743), and <2532> cast <906>(5743) into <1519> the fire <4442>.
10. And <2532> the people <3793> asked <1905>(5707) him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), What <5101> shall we do <4160>(5692) then <3767>?
11. He answereth <611>(5679) and <1161> saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, He that hath <2192>(5723) two <1417> coats <5509>, let him impart <3330>(5628) to him that hath <2192>(5723) none <3361>; and <2532> he that hath <2192>(5723) meat <1033>, let him do <4160>(5720) likewise <3668>.
12. Then <1161> came <2064>(5627) also <2532> publicans <5057> to be baptized <907>(5683), and <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> him <846>, Master <1320>, what <5101> shall we do <4160>(5692)?
13. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> them <846>, Exact <4238>(5719) no <3367> more <4119> than <3844> that which is appointed <1299>(5772) you <5213>.
14. And <1161> the soldiers <4754>(5734) likewise <2532> demanded <1905>(5707) of him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), And <2532> what <5101> shall we <2249> do <4160>(5692)? And <2532> he said <2036>(5627) unto <4314> them <846>, Do violence <1286>(5661) to no man <3367>, neither <3366> accuse any falsely <4811>(5661); and <2532> be content <714>(5744) with your <5216> wages <3800>.
15. And <1161> as the people <2992> were in expectation <4328>(5723), and <2532> all men <3956> mused <1260>(5740) in <1722> their <848> hearts <2588> of <4012> John <2491>, whether <3379> <0> he <846> were <1498>(5751) the Christ <5547>, or not <3379>;
16. John <2491> answered <611>(5662), saying <3004>(5723) unto them all <537>, I <1473> indeed <3303> baptize <907>(5719) you <5209> with water <5204>; but <1161> one mightier than <2478> I <3450> cometh <2064>(5736), the latchet <2438> of whose <3739> shoes <5266> I am <1510>(5748) not <3756> worthy <2425> to unloose <3089>(5658): he <846> shall baptize <907>(5692) you <5209> with <1722> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> and <2532> with fire <4442>:
17. Whose <3739> fan <4425> is in <1722> his <846> hand <5495>, and <2532> he will throughly purge <1245>(5692) his <848> floor <257>, and <2532> will gather <4863>(5692) the wheat <4621> into <1519> his <848> garner <596>; but <1161> the chaff <892> he will burn <2618>(5692) with fire <4442> unquenchable <762>.
18. And <2532> <3767> many <4183> <0> other <2087> things <4183> <3303> in his exhortation <3870>(5723) preached <2097>(5710) he unto the people <2992>.
19. But <1161> Herod <2264> the tetrarch <5076>, being reproved <1651>(5746) by <5259> him <846> for <4012> Herodias <2266> his <846> brother <80> Philip's <5376> wife <1135>, and <2532> for <4012> all <3956> the evils <4190> which <3739> Herod <2264> had done <4160>(5656),
20. Added <4369>(5656) yet <2532> this <5124> above <1909> all <3956>, that <2532> he shut up <2623>(5656) John <2491> in <1722> prison <5438>.
21. Now <1161> when all <537> the people <2992> were baptized <1722> <907>(5683), it came to pass <1096>(5633), that Jesus <2424> also <2532> being baptized <907>(5685), and <2532> praying <4336>(5740), the heaven <3772> was opened <455>(5683),
22. And <2532> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> descended <2597>(5629) in a bodily <4984> shape <1491> like <5616> a dove <4058> upon <1909> him <846>, and <2532> a voice <5456> came <1096>(5635) from <1537> heaven <3772>, which said <3004>(5723), Thou <4771> art <1488>(5748) my <3450> beloved <27> Son <5207>; in <1722> thee <4671> I am well pleased <2106>(5656).
23. And <2532> Jesus <2424> himself <846> began <756>(5734) to be <2258>(5713) about <5616> thirty <5144> years of age <2094>, being <5607>(5752) (as <5613> was supposed <3543>(5712)) the son <5207> of Joseph <2501>, which was the son of Heli <2242>,
