You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived, and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you. You shall not walk in their statutes.
Leviticus 18:3

When you come to faith in YHVH, the religion of your fathers becomes Egypt for you. The Promised Land is not wherever you happen to be. You must leave Egypt to get there.
