Exodus 23:21 in Context — Exodus 23

19 Tu apporteras à la maison de l’Éternel, ton Dieu, les prémices des premiers fruits de la terre. Tu ne feras point cuire un chevreau dans le lait de sa mère.

20 Voici, j’envoie un ange devant toi, pour te protéger en chemin, et pour te faire arriver au lieu que j’ai préparé.

21 Tiens-toi sur tes gardes en sa présence, et écoute sa voix; ne lui résiste point, parce qu’il ne pardonnera pas vos péchés, car mon nom est en lui.

22 Mais si tu écoutes sa voix, et si tu fais tout ce que je te dirai, je serai l’ennemi de tes ennemis et l’adversaire de tes adversaires.

23 Mon ange marchera devant toi, et te conduira chez les Amoréens, les Héthiens, les Phéréziens, les Cananéens, les Héviens et les Jébusiens, et je les exterminerai.
