Deuteronomy 4:9 in Context — Deuteronomy 4

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.

10 Souviens-toi du jour où tu te présentas devant l’Éternel, ton Dieu, à Horeb, lorsque l’Éternel me dit: Assemble auprès de moi le peuple! Je veux leur faire entendre mes paroles, afin qu’ils apprennent à me craindre tout le temps qu’ils vivront sur la terre; et afin qu’ils les enseignent à leurs enfants.

11 Vous vous approchâtes et vous vous tîntes au pied de la montagne. La montagne était embrasée, et les flammes s’élevaient jusqu’au milieu du ciel. Il y avait des ténèbres, des nuées, de l’obscurité.
