= Definition =
Land ''corruption'' (or ''pollution'' or ''defilement'' | Hebrew: חָנֵף, ḥānep | LXX: μιαίνω, miainó) refers to the ontological effect on the land when egregious crimes are committed.

= Explanation =

Fundamental to the way YHWH created mankind, is man's relationship to the ground/land from which he was formed:
{{:Scriptblock|Genesis 2:7}}

When crimes are committed that violate this relationship, like the shedding of innocent blood, the land acts as a witness testifying to God (Gen. 4:10-11, Deut. 4:26). Consider the Noahic flood:
{{:Scriptblock|Genesis 6:12-13}}

After judging the World, and reversing the curse<ref>[[Is the ground still affected by the curse of Genesis 3:17-19?]]</ref>, God then delegated this temporal judgement authority to mankind (Gen. 9:6) so as to prevent the necessity for His judgement: 
{{:Scriptblock|Deuteronomy 21:21}}

As these crimes continue, and man neglects his responsibility to punish evil, the land corruption increases to a point where YHWH is required to intervene, causing the land to "vomit out" (Lev. 18:24-30) the people (usually involving the death of many or most of them in the the process).

=== The Death Penalty Atonement ===

In the case of a (witnessed) egregious crime, the community affected by the crime must conduct a trial with at least two witnesses (Deut. 19:15), and put to death the guilty offender in accordance with God's mandatory (''mot yumat'') death penalties:
{{:Scriptblock|Numbers 35:33}}

This removes -- in a real, ontological way -- the corruption/pollution (caused by that crime) from the land of that particular community, preserving them from God's future temporal judgement (e.g. Sodom and Gomorrah, Amorites, Canaanites, Assyrians, Israel, Judah, etc.).

It's important to note that though the death penalty functions as a type of atonement for corrupting the land, it does not directly associate it with covenantal types of atonements (like levitical/priestly sacrifices). The covenantal sacrifices, which were unable to remove sin (Heb. 10:1-4), were fulfilled by Jesus' 'once for all' sacrifice (Heb. 10:10), redeeming certain persons (the ones "in him") from spiritual death. Jesus did not, however, sacrifice himself to atone for land-corruption, taking away the effect of their egregious crimes from it. Even after Jesus' death, the land of Judea was judged by God with temporal destruction (Fall of Jerusalem, A.D. 70). The God-given requirement for civil government to supervise all of the Biblical mandatory death penalties is coventally-transcendent (not part of any covenantal system), and therefore remains in the New Covenant era, able to preserve the community from future temporal destruction.

The word "arsenokoitai" in 1 Cor. 6:9 is a compound word that combines "ἄρσενος" (arsenos), meaning "man," and "κοίτην" (koite, from whence we derive the word "coitus"), which functioned for Paul and the LXX translators as a euphemism for sex acts. This word appears to be a reference to Lev. 18:22 and 20:13 LXX<ref> The law in Lev. 20:13 defines the civil punishment for the action, whereas Lev. 18:22 is purely a moral prohibition for which the Canaanites were being "vomited out of the land". </ref>, where the two words "arsenos" and "koite" are used in both verses to prohibit men from lying with other men as they would with a woman.

This is based on the understanding that in first century Greek culture, the active partner in a sexual act was seen as more masculine and dominant, while the passive partner was seen as more feminine and submissive (See: Ciampa 2010, 'The First Letter to the Corinthians', PNTC, p.363).</ref> male-male sexual behavior in 1 Cor. 6:9 (and 1 Tim. 1:10 <ref> Paul, in 1 Timothy 1:9-10, provides examples of types sins which justify a "lawful" use of the law (1 Tim. 1:8).

The word "arsenokoitai" in 1 Cor. 6:9 is a compound word that combines "ἄρσενος" (arsenos), meaning "man," and "κοίτην" (koite, from whence we derive the word "coitus"), which functioned for Paul and the LXX translators as a euphemism for sex acts. This word appears to be a reference to Lev. 18:22 and 20:13 LXX<ref> The law in Lev. 20:13 defines the civil punishment for the action, whereas Lev. 18:22 is purely a moral prohibition for which the Canaanites were being "vomited out of the land". </ref>, where the two words "arsenos" and "koite" are used in both verses to prohibit men from lying with other men as they would with a woman. Therefore Paul's use of "arsenokoitai" in this context clearly refers to male-male sexual activity<ref> BDAG 135 s.v. ἀρσενοκοίτης states, "a male who engages in sexual activity w. a pers. of his own sex" </ref>. The word "arsenokoitai" is not found in any prior Greek literature, so it seems to be a coinage of the apostle Paul, directly referencing the law in LXX Leviticus. Thus it functions for Paul as a condemnation of ''active''<ref> It has been argued that based on the inclusion of "μαλακοὶ" (malakoi, referring to softness) when paired with arsenokoitai refers to a boy-man pedophilic relationship. However, since arsenokoitai is a compound word with reference to Lev. 18 & 20, easily definable independent of malakoi, it's more likely the two phrases refer to the passive and active partners in a male-male homosexual relationship. This is based on the understanding that in first century Greek culture, the active partner in a sexual act was seen as more masculine and dominant, while the passive partner was seen as more feminine and submissive (See: Ciampa 2010, 'The First Letter to the Corinthians', PNTC, p.363).</ref> male-male sexual behavior in 1 Cor. 6:9 (and 1 Tim. 1:10 <ref> Paul, in 1 Timothy 1:9-10, provides examples of types sins which justify a "lawful" use of the law (1 Tim. 1:8). He references "those who strike their fathers and mothers" (cf. Exod. 21:15), "murders" (cf. Exod. 20:13). Paul in arguing for the consistent application of God's law (and judgement within the church assembly - cf. 1 Cor. 6:4), unequivocally supports the civil application of Lev. 18:22, 20:13. </ref> ).
