Deuteronomy 15:18 in Context — Deuteronomy 15

16 Si ton esclave te dit: Je ne veux pas sortir de chez toi, parce qu’il t’aime, toi et ta maison, et qu’il se trouve bien chez toi,

17 alors tu prendras un poinçon et tu lui perceras l’oreille contre la porte, et il sera pour toujours ton esclave. Tu feras de même pour ta servante.

18 Tu ne trouveras point dur de le renvoyer libre de chez toi, car il t’a servi six ans, ce qui vaut le double du salaire d’un mercenaire; et l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te bénira dans tout ce que tu feras.

19 Tu consacreras à l’Éternel, ton Dieu, tout premier-né mâle qui naîtra dans ton gros et dans ton menu bétail. Tu ne travailleras point avec le premier-né de ton bœuf, et tu ne tondras point le premier-né de tes brebis.

20 Tu le mangeras chaque année, toi et ta famille, devant l’Éternel, ton Dieu, dans le lieu qu’il choisira.
