Judges 18:7 in Context — Judges 18
5 Ils lui dirent: Consulte Dieu, afin que nous sachions si notre voyage aura du succès.
6 Et le prêtre leur répondit: Allez en paix; le voyage que vous faites est sous le regard de l’Éternel.
7 Les cinq hommes partirent, et ils arrivèrent à Laïs. Ils virent le peuple qui y était vivant en sécurité à la manière des Sidoniens, tranquille et sans inquiétude; il n’y avait dans le pays personne qui leur fît le moindre outrage en dominant sur eux; ils étaient éloignés des Sidoniens, et ils n’avaient pas de liaison avec d’autres hommes.
8 Ils revinrent auprès de leurs frères à Tsorea et Eschthaol, et leurs frères leur dirent: Quelle nouvelle apportez-vous?
9 Allons! Répondirent-ils, montons contre eux; car nous avons vu le pays, et voici, il est très bon. Quoi! Vous restez sans rien dire! Ne soyez point paresseux à vous mettre en marche pour aller prendre possession de ce pays.
