The land given to ancient Israel was inhabited by Canaanites, a depraved people who practiced sexual immorality ​ — including incest, sodomy, and bestiality — ​ as well as ritual child sacrifice.
Muistsele Iisraelile määratud maad asustasid kaananlased – moraalselt rikutud rahvas, keda iseloomustas sugukõlvatus, kaasa arvatud verepilastus, pederastia ja sodoomia, samuti rituaalne laste ohverdamine.
