Deuteronomy 16:2 in Context — Deuteronomy 16

1 Observe le mois des épis, et célèbre la Pâque en l’honneur de l’Éternel, ton Dieu; car c’est dans le mois des épis que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, t’a fait sortir d’Égypte, pendant la nuit.

2 Tu sacrifieras la Pâque à l’Éternel, ton Dieu, tes victimes de menu et de gros bétail, dans le lieu que l’Éternel choisira pour y faire résider son nom.

3 Pendant la fête, tu ne mangeras pas du pain levé, mais tu mangeras sept jours des pains sans levain, du pain d’affliction, car c’est avec précipitation que tu es sorti du pays d’Égypte: il en sera ainsi, afin que tu te souviennes toute ta vie du jour où tu es sorti du pays d’Égypte.

4 On ne verra point chez toi de levain, dans toute l’étendue de ton pays, pendant sept jours; et aucune partie des victimes que tu sacrifieras le soir du premier jour ne sera gardée pendant la nuit jusqu’au matin.
