Leviticus 19:20 in Context — Leviticus 19
18 Tu ne te vengeras point, et tu ne garderas point de rancune contre les enfants de ton peuple. Tu aimeras ton prochain comme toi-même. Je suis l’Éternel.
19 Vous observerez mes lois. Tu n’accoupleras point des bestiaux de deux espèces différentes; tu n’ensemenceras point ton champ de deux espèces de semences; et tu ne porteras pas un vêtement tissé de deux espèces de fils.
20 Lorsqu’un homme couchera et aura commerce avec une femme, si c’est une esclave fiancée à un autre homme, et qui n’a pas été rachetée ou affranchie, ils seront châtiés, mais non punis de mort, parce qu’elle n’a pas été affranchie.
21 L’homme amènera pour sa faute à l’Éternel, à l’entrée de la tente d’assignation, un bélier en sacrifice de culpabilité.
22 Le sacrificateur fera pour lui l’expiation devant l’Éternel, pour le péché qu’il a commis, avec le bélier offert en sacrifice de culpabilité, et le péché qu’il a commis lui sera pardonné.
