Deuteronomy 17:7 in Context — Deuteronomy 17
5 alors tu feras venir à tes portes l’homme ou la femme qui sera coupable de cette mauvaise action, et tu lapideras ou puniras de mort cet homme ou cette femme.
6 Celui qui mérite la mort sera exécuté sur la déposition de deux ou de trois témoins; il ne sera pas mis à mort sur la déposition d’un seul témoin.
7 La main des témoins se lèvera la première sur lui pour le faire mourir, et la main de tout le peuple ensuite. Tu ôteras ainsi le mal du milieu de toi.
8 Si une cause relative à un meurtre, à un différend, à une blessure, te paraît trop difficile à juger et fournit matière à contestation dans tes portes, tu te lèveras et tu monteras au lieu que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, choisira.
9 Tu iras vers les sacrificateurs, les Lévites, et vers celui qui remplira alors les fonctions de juge; tu les consulteras, et ils te feront connaître la sentence.
