Ezra 6:11 in Context — Ezra 6
9 Les choses nécessaires pour les holocaustes du Dieu des cieux, jeunes taureaux, béliers et agneaux, froment, sel, vin et huile, seront livrées, sur leur demande, aux sacrificateurs de Jérusalem, jour par jour et sans manquer,
10 afin qu’ils offrent des sacrifices de bonne odeur au Dieu des cieux et qu’ils prient pour la vie du roi et de ses fils.
11 Et voici l’ordre que je donne touchant quiconque transgressera cette parole: on arrachera de sa maison une pièce de bois, on la dressera pour qu’il y soit attaché, et l’on fera de sa maison un tas d’immondices.
12 Que le Dieu qui fait résider en ce lieu son nom renverse tout roi et tout peuple qui étendraient la main pour transgresser ma parole, pour détruire cette maison de Dieu à Jérusalem! Moi, Darius, j’ai donné cet ordre. Qu’il soit ponctuellement exécuté.
13 Thathnaï, gouverneur de ce côté du fleuve, Schethar-Boznaï, et leurs collègues, se conformèrent ponctuellement à cet ordre que leur envoya le roi Darius.
