Deuteronomy 4:20 in Context — Deuteronomy 4

18 la figure d’une bête qui rampe sur le sol, la figure d’un poisson qui vive dans les eaux au-dessous de la terre.

19 Veille sur ton âme, de peur que, levant tes yeux vers le ciel, et voyant le soleil, la lune et les étoiles, toute l’armée des cieux, tu ne sois entraîné à te prosterner en leur présence et à leur rendre un culte: ce sont des choses que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, a données en partage à tous les peuples, sous le ciel tout entier.

20 Mais vous, l’Éternel vous a pris, et vous a fait sortir de la fournaise de fer de l’Égypte, afin que vous fussiez un peuple qui lui appartînt en propre, comme vous l’êtes aujourd’hui.

21 Et l’Éternel s’irrita contre moi, à cause de vous; et il jura que je ne passerais point le Jourdain, et que je n’entrerais point dans le bon pays que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne en héritage.

22 Je mourrai donc en ce pays-ci, je ne passerai point le Jourdain; mais vous le passerez, et vous posséderez ce bon pays.
