Exodus 12:17 in Context — Exodus 12

15 Pendant sept jours, vous mangerez des pains sans levain. Dès le premier jour, il n’y aura plus de levain dans vos maisons; car toute personne qui mangera du pain levé, du premier jour au septième jour, sera retranchée d’Israël.

16 Le premier jour, vous aurez une sainte convocation; et le septième jour, vous aurez une sainte convocation. On ne fera aucun travail ces jours-là; vous pourrez seulement préparer la nourriture de chaque personne.

17 Vous observerez la fête des pains sans levain, car c’est en ce jour même que j’aurai fait sortir vos armées du pays d’Égypte; vous observerez ce jour comme une loi perpétuelle pour vos descendants.

18 Le premier mois, le quatorzième jour du mois, au soir, vous mangerez des pains sans levain jusqu’au soir du vingt et unième jour.

19 Pendant sept jours, il ne se trouvera point de levain dans vos maisons; car toute personne qui mangera du pain levé sera retranchée de l’assemblée d’Israël, que ce soit un étranger ou un indigène.
