Deuteronomy 21:9 in Context — Deuteronomy 21

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.

9 Ainsi, tu dois faire disparaître du milieu de toi le sang innocent, en faisant ce qui est droit aux yeux de l’Éternel.

10 Lorsque tu iras à la guerre contre tes ennemis, si l’Éternel les livre entre tes mains, et que tu leur fasses des prisonniers,

11 peut-être verras-tu parmi les captives une femme belle de figure, et auras-tu le désir de la prendre pour femme.
