Ezra 8:20 in Context — Ezra 8
18 Et, comme la bonne main de notre Dieu était sur nous, ils nous amenèrent Schérébia, homme de sens, d’entre les fils de Machli, fils de Lévi, fils d’Israël, et avec lui ses fils et ses frères, au nombre de dix-huit;
19 Haschabia, et avec lui Ésaïe, d’entre les fils de Merari, ses frères et leurs fils, au nombre de vingt;
20 et d’entre les Néthiniens, que David et les chefs avaient mis au service des Lévites, deux cent vingt Néthiniens, tous désignés par leurs noms.
21 Là, près du fleuve d’Ahava, je publiai un jeûne d’humiliation devant notre Dieu, afin d’implorer de lui un heureux voyage pour nous, pour nos enfants, et pour tout ce qui nous appartenait.
22 J’aurais eu honte de demander au roi une escorte et des cavaliers pour nous protéger contre l’ennemi pendant la route, car nous avions dit au roi: La main de notre Dieu est pour leur bien sur tous ceux qui le cherchent, mais sa force et sa colère sont sur tous ceux qui l’abandonnent.
