Deuteronomy 22:7 in Context — Deuteronomy 22
5 Une femme ne portera point un habillement d’homme, et un homme ne mettra point des vêtements de femme; car quiconque fait ces choses est en abomination à l’Éternel, ton Dieu.
6 Si tu rencontres dans ton chemin un nid d’oiseau, sur un arbre ou sur la terre, avec des petits ou des œufs, et la mère couchée sur les petits ou sur les œufs, tu ne prendras pas la mère et les petits,
7 tu laisseras aller la mère et tu ne prendras que les petits, afin que tu sois heureux et que tu prolonges tes jours.
8 Si tu bâtis une maison neuve, tu feras une balustrade autour de ton toit, afin de ne pas mettre du sang sur ta maison, dans le cas où il en tomberait quelqu’un.
9 Tu ne sèmeras point dans ta vigne diverses semences, de peur que tu ne jouisses ni du produit de ce que tu auras semé ni du produit de la vigne.
