Deuteronomy 21:6 in Context — Deuteronomy 21
4 Ils feront descendre cette génisse vers un torrent qui jamais ne tarisse et où il n’y ait ni culture ni semence; et là, ils briseront la nuque à la génisse, dans le torrent.
5 Alors s’approcheront les sacrificateurs, fils de Lévi; car l’Éternel, ton Dieu, les a choisis pour qu’ils le servent et qu’ils bénissent au nom de l’Éternel, et ce sont eux qui doivent prononcer sur toute contestation et sur toute blessure.
6 Tous les anciens de cette ville la plus rapprochée du cadavre laveront leurs mains sur la génisse à laquelle on a brisé la nuque dans le torrent.
7 Et prenant la parole, ils diront: Nos mains n’ont point répandu ce sang et nos yeux ne l’ont point vu répandre.
8 Pardonne, ô Éternel! À ton peuple d’Israël, que tu as racheté; n’impute pas le sang innocent à ton peuple d’Israël, et ce sang ne lui sera point imputé.
