Deuteronomy 17:18 in Context — Deuteronomy 17

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.

19 Il devra l’avoir avec lui et y lire tous les jours de sa vie, afin qu’il apprenne à craindre l’Éternel, son Dieu, à observer et à mettre en pratique toutes les paroles de cette loi et toutes ces ordonnances;

20 afin que son cœur ne s’élève point au-dessus de ses frères, et qu’il ne se détourne de ces commandements ni à droite ni à gauche; afin qu’il prolonge ses jours dans son royaume, lui et ses enfants, au milieu d’Israël.
