5 Mais l’Éternel, ton Dieu, n’a point voulu écouter Balaam; et l’Éternel, ton Dieu, a changé pour toi la malédiction en bénédiction, parce que tu es aimé de l’Éternel, ton Dieu.

6 Tu n’auras souci ni de leur prospérité ni de leur bien-être, tant que tu vivras, à perpétuité.

7 Tu n’auras point en abomination l’Édomite, car il est ton frère; tu n’auras point en abomination l’Égyptien, car tu as été étranger dans son pays:

8 les fils qui leur naîtront à la troisième génération entreront dans l’assemblée de l’Éternel.

9 Lorsque tu camperas contre tes ennemis, garde-toi de toute chose mauvaise.
