Exegesis
The chiastic repetition of ha-arets {הָאָ֔רֶץ | hā-ʾā-reṣ} with the perfect verb umalah {וּמָלְאָ֥ה | ū-mā-lāh} accentuates the cause-and-effect relationship.
In context — Leviticus 19:29
Do not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, and do not prostitute the land, or the land will be filled with depravity .
