1 L’Éternel parla à Moïse, et dit:

2 Parle aux enfants d’Israël, et tu leur diras: Je suis l’Éternel, votre Dieu.

3 Vous ne ferez point ce qui se fait dans le pays d’Égypte où vous avez habité, et vous ne ferez point ce qui se fait dans le pays de Canaan où je vous mène: vous ne suivrez point leurs usages.
