Judges 6:30 in Context — Judges 6

28 Lorsque les gens de la ville se furent levés de bon matin, voici, l’autel de Baal était renversé, le pieu sacré placé dessus était abattu, et le second taureau était offert en holocauste sur l’autel qui avait été bâti.

29 Ils se dirent l’un à l’autre: Qui a fait cela? Et ils s’informèrent et firent des recherches. On leur dit: C’est Gédéon, fils de Joas, qui a fait cela.

30 Alors les gens de la ville dirent à Joas: Fais sortir ton fils, et qu’il meure, car il a renversé l’autel de Baal et abattu le pieu sacré qui était dessus.

31 Joas répondit à tous ceux qui se présentèrent à lui: Est-ce à vous de prendre parti pour Baal? Est-ce à vous de venir à son secours? Quiconque prendra parti pour Baal mourra avant que le matin vienne. Si Baal est un dieu, qu’il plaide lui-même sa cause, puisqu’on a renversé son autel.

32 Et en ce jour l’on donna à Gédéon le nom de Jerubbaal, en disant: Que Baal plaide contre lui, puisqu’il a renversé son autel.
