Exodus 23:12 in Context — Exodus 23

10 Pendant six années, tu ensemenceras la terre, et tu en recueilleras le produit.

11 Mais la septième, tu lui donneras du relâche et tu la laisseras en repos; les pauvres de ton peuple en jouiront, et les bêtes des champs mangeront ce qui restera. Tu feras de même pour ta vigne et pour tes oliviers.

12 Pendant six jours, tu feras ton ouvrage. Mais le septième jour, tu te reposeras, afin que ton bœuf et ton âne aient du repos, afin que le fils de ton esclave et l’étranger aient du relâche.

13 Vous observerez tout ce que je vous ai dit, et vous ne prononcerez point le nom d’autres dieux: qu’on ne l’entende point sortir de votre bouche.

14 Trois fois par année, tu célébreras des fêtes en mon honneur.
