Deuteronomy 23:20 in Context — Deuteronomy 23
18 Tu n’apporteras point dans la maison de l’Éternel, ton Dieu, le salaire d’une prostituée ni le prix d’un chien, pour l’accomplissement d’un vœu quelconque; car l’un et l’autre sont en abomination à l’Éternel, ton Dieu.
19 Tu n’exigeras de ton frère aucun intérêt ni pour argent, ni pour vivres, ni pour rien de ce qui se prête à intérêt.
20 Tu pourras tirer un intérêt de l’étranger, mais tu n’en tireras point de ton frère, afin que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te bénisse dans tout ce que tu entreprendras au pays dont tu vas entrer en possession.
21 Si tu fais un vœu à l’Éternel, ton Dieu, tu ne tarderas point à l’accomplir: car l’Éternel, ton Dieu, t’en demanderait compte, et tu te chargerais d’un péché.
22 Si tu t’abstiens de faire un vœu, tu ne commettras pas un péché.
