Exodus 8:21 in Context — Exodus 8

19 J’établirai une distinction entre mon peuple et ton peuple. Ce signe sera pour demain.

20 L’Éternel fit ainsi. Il vint une quantité de mouches venimeuses dans la maison de Pharaon et de ses serviteurs, et tout le pays d’Égypte fut dévasté par les mouches.

21 Pharaon appela Moïse et Aaron et dit: Allez, offrez des sacrifices à votre Dieu dans le pays.

22 Moïse répondit: Il n’est point convenable de faire ainsi; car nous offririons à l’Éternel, notre Dieu, des sacrifices qui sont en abomination aux Égyptiens. Et si nous offrons, sous leurs yeux, des sacrifices qui sont en abomination aux Égyptiens, ne nous lapideront-ils pas?

23 Nous ferons trois journées de marche dans le désert, et nous offrirons des sacrifices à l’Éternel, notre Dieu, selon ce qu’il nous dira.
