Deuteronomy 12:31 in Context — Deuteronomy 12

29 Lorsque l’Éternel, ton Dieu, aura exterminé les nations que tu vas chasser devant toi, lorsque tu les auras chassées et que tu te seras établi dans leur pays,

30 garde-toi de te laisser prendre au piège en les imitant, après qu’elles auront été détruites devant toi. Garde-toi de t’informer de leurs dieux et de dire: Comment ces nations servaient-elles leurs dieux? Moi aussi, je veux faire de même.

31 Tu n’agiras pas ainsi à l’égard de l’Éternel, ton Dieu; car elles servaient leurs dieux en faisant toutes les abominations qui sont odieuses à l’Éternel, et même elles brûlaient au feu leurs fils et leurs filles en l’honneur de leurs dieux.

32 Vous observerez et vous mettrez en pratique toutes les choses que je vous ordonne; vous n’y ajouterez rien, et vous n’en retrancherez rien.
