Leviticus 20:23 in Context — Leviticus 20
21 Si un homme prend la femme de son frère, c’est une impureté; il a découvert la nudité de son frère: ils seront sans enfant.
22 Vous observerez toutes mes lois et toutes mes ordonnances, et vous les mettrez en pratique, afin que le pays où je vous mène pour vous y établir ne vous vomisse point.
23 Vous ne suivrez point les usages des nations que je vais chasser devant vous; car elles ont fait toutes ces choses, et je les ai en abomination.
24 Je vous ai dit: C’est vous qui posséderez leur pays; je vous en donnerai la possession: c’est un pays où coulent le lait et le miel. Je suis l’Éternel, votre Dieu, qui vous ai séparés des peuples.
25 Vous observerez la distinction entre les animaux purs et impurs, entre les oiseaux purs et impurs, afin de ne pas rendre vos personnes abominables par des animaux, par des oiseaux, par tous les reptiles de la terre, que je vous ai appris à distinguer comme impurs.
