Exodus 32:28 in Context — Exodus 32

26 Moïse se plaça à la porte du camp, et dit: A moi ceux qui sont pour l’Éternel! Et tous les enfants de Lévi s’assemblèrent auprès de lui.

27 Il leur dit: Ainsi parle l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël: Que chacun de vous mette son épée au côté; traversez et parcourez le camp d’une porte à l’autre, et que chacun tue son frère, son parent.

28 Les enfants de Lévi firent ce qu’ordonnait Moïse; et environ trois mille hommes parmi le peuple périrent en cette journée.

29 Moïse dit: Consacrez-vous aujourd’hui à l’Éternel, même en sacrifiant votre fils et votre frère, afin qu’il vous accorde aujourd’hui une bénédiction.

30 Le lendemain, Moïse dit au peuple: Vous avez commis un grand péché. Je vais maintenant monter vers l’Éternel: j’obtiendrai peut-être le pardon de votre péché.
