Exodus 23:9 in Context — Exodus 23

7 Tu ne prononceras point de sentence inique, et tu ne feras point mourir l’innocent et le juste; car je n’absoudrai point le coupable.

8 Tu ne recevras point de présent; car les présents aveuglent ceux qui ont les yeux ouverts et corrompent les paroles des justes.

9 Tu n’opprimeras point l’étranger; vous savez ce qu’éprouve l’étranger, car vous avez été étrangers dans le pays d’Égypte.

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.
