What does the verb “vomited” signify?

Lévitique 18:25 (NEG79)

25 Le pays en a été souillé; je punirai son iniquité, et le pays vomira ses habitants.

This is an example of personification. The land is spoken of as having human qualities. In this instance, the land is pictured as a human being who finds such sexual practices so revolting that it is compelled to vomit people out of itself. This is repeated in Leviticus 18:28.
