Ezekiel 20:5 in Context — Ezekiel 20
3 Fils de l’homme, parle aux anciens d’Israël, et dis-leur: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Est-ce pour me consulter que vous êtes venus? Je suis vivant! Je ne me laisserai pas consulter par vous, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.
4 Veux-tu les juger, veux-tu les juger, fils de l’homme? Fais-leur connaître les abominations de leurs pères!
5 Tu leur diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Le jour où j’ai choisi Israël, j’ai levé ma main vers la postérité de la maison de Jacob, et je me suis fait connaître à eux dans le pays d’Égypte; j’ai levé ma main vers eux, en disant: Je suis l’Éternel, votre Dieu.
6 En ce jour-là, j’ai levé ma main vers eux, pour les faire passer du pays d’Égypte dans un pays que j’avais cherché pour eux, pays où coulent le lait et le miel, le plus beau de tous les pays.
7 Je leur dis: Rejetez chacun les abominations qui attirent vos regards, et ne vous souillez pas par les idoles de l’Égypte! Je suis l’Éternel, votre Dieu.
