Exodus 34:16 in Context — Exodus 34

14 Tu ne te prosterneras point devant un autre dieu; car l’Éternel porte le nom de jaloux, il est un Dieu jaloux.

15 Garde-toi de faire alliance avec les habitants du pays, de peur que, se prostituant à leurs dieux et leur offrant des sacrifices, ils ne t’invitent, et que tu ne manges de leurs victimes;

16 de peur que tu ne prennes de leurs filles pour tes fils, et que leurs filles, se prostituant à leurs dieux, n’entraînent tes fils à se prostituer à leurs dieux.

17 Tu ne te feras point de dieu en fonte.

18 Tu observeras la fête des pains sans levain; pendant sept jours, au temps fixé dans le mois des épis, tu mangeras des pains sans levain, comme je t’en ai donné l’ordre, car c’est dans le mois des épis que tu es sorti d’Égypte.
