Exodus 12:23 in Context — Exodus 12

21 Moïse appela tous les anciens d’Israël, et leur dit: Allez prendre du bétail pour vos familles, et immolez la Pâque.

22 Vous prendrez ensuite un bouquet d’hysope, vous le tremperez dans le sang qui sera dans le bassin, et vous toucherez le linteau et les deux poteaux de la porte avec le sang qui sera dans le bassin. Nul de vous ne sortira de sa maison jusqu’au matin.

23 Quand l’Éternel passera pour frapper l’Égypte, et verra le sang sur le linteau et sur les deux poteaux, l’Éternel passera par-dessus la porte, et il ne permettra pas au destructeur d’entrer dans vos maisons pour frapper.

24 Vous observerez cela comme une loi pour vous et pour vos enfants à perpétuité.

25 Quand vous serez entrés dans le pays que l’Éternel vous donnera, selon sa promesse, vous observerez cet usage sacré.
