Deuteronomy 4:7 in Context — Deuteronomy 4

5 Voici, je vous ai enseigné des lois et des ordonnances, comme l’Éternel, mon Dieu, me l’a commandé, afin que vous les mettiez en pratique dans le pays dont vous allez prendre possession.

6 Vous les observerez et vous les mettrez en pratique; car ce sera là votre sagesse et votre intelligence aux yeux des peuples, qui entendront parler de toutes ces lois et qui diront: Cette grande nation est un peuple absolument sage et intelligent!

7 Quelle est, en effet, la grande nation qui ait des dieux aussi proches que l’Éternel, notre Dieu, l’est de nous toutes les fois que nous l’invoquons?

8 Et quelle est la grande nation qui ait des lois et des ordonnances justes, comme toute cette loi que je vous présente aujourd’hui?

9 Seulement, prends garde à toi et veille attentivement sur ton âme, tous les jours de ta vie, de peur que tu n’oublies les choses que tes yeux ont vues, et qu’elles ne sortent de ton cœur; enseigne-les à tes enfants et aux enfants de tes enfants.
