Judges 21:3 in Context — Judges 21

1 Les hommes d’Israël avaient juré à Mitspa, en disant: Aucun de nous ne donnera sa fille pour femme à un Benjamite.

2 Le peuple vint à Béthel, et il y resta devant Dieu jusqu’au soir. Ils élevèrent la voix, ils versèrent d’abondantes larmes,

3 et ils dirent: O Éternel, Dieu d’Israël, pourquoi est-il arrivé en Israël qu’il manque aujourd’hui une tribu d’Israël?

4 Le lendemain, le peuple se leva de bon matin; ils bâtirent là un autel, et ils offrirent des holocaustes et des sacrifices d’actions de grâces.

5 Les enfants d’Israël dirent: Quel est celui d’entre toutes les tribus d’Israël qui n’est pas monté à l’assemblée devant l’Éternel? Car on avait fait un serment solennel contre quiconque ne monterait pas vers l’Éternel à Mitspa, on avait dit: Il sera puni de mort.
