Deuteronomy 16:18 in Context — Deuteronomy 16

16 Trois fois par année, tous les mâles d’entre vous se présenteront devant l’Éternel, ton Dieu, dans le lieu qu’il choisira: à la fête des pains sans levain, à la fête des semaines, et à la fête des tabernacles. On ne paraîtra point devant l’Éternel les mains vides.

17 Chacun donnera ce qu’il pourra, selon les bénédictions que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, lui aura accordées.

18 Tu établiras des juges et des magistrats dans toutes les villes que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne, selon tes tribus; et ils jugeront le peuple avec justice.

19 Tu ne porteras atteinte à aucun droit, tu n’auras point égard à l’apparence des personnes, et tu ne recevras point de présent, car les présents aveuglent les yeux des sages et corrompent les paroles des justes.

20 Tu suivras ponctuellement la justice, afin que tu vives et que tu possèdes le pays que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne.
