Deuteronomy 17:16 in Context — Deuteronomy 17
14 Lorsque tu seras entré dans le pays que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne, lorsque tu le posséderas, que tu y auras établi ta demeure, et que tu diras: Je veux mettre un roi sur moi, comme toutes les nations qui m’entourent,
15 tu mettras sur toi un roi que choisira l’Éternel, ton Dieu, tu prendras un roi du milieu de tes frères, tu ne pourras pas te donner un étranger, qui ne soit pas ton frère.
16 Mais qu’il n’ait pas un grand nombre de chevaux; et qu’il ne ramène pas le peuple en Égypte pour avoir beaucoup de chevaux; car l’Éternel vous a dit: Vous ne retournerez plus par ce chemin-là.
17 Qu’il n’ait pas un grand nombre de femmes, afin que son cœur ne se détourne point; et qu’il ne fasse pas de grands amas d’argent et d’or.
18 Quand il s’assiéra sur le trône de son royaume, il écrira pour lui, dans un livre, une copie de cette loi, qu’il prendra auprès des sacrificateurs, les Lévites.
