Leviticus 20:3 in Context — Leviticus 20

1 L’Éternel parla à Moïse, et dit:

2 Tu diras aux enfants d’Israël: Si un homme des enfants d’Israël ou des étrangers qui séjournent en Israël livre à Moloc l’un de ses enfants, il sera puni de mort: le peuple du pays le lapidera.

3 Et moi, je tournerai ma face contre cet homme, et je le retrancherai du milieu de son peuple, parce qu’il a livré de ses enfants à Moloc, souillé mon sanctuaire et profané mon saint nom.

4 Si le peuple du pays détourne ses regards de cet homme, qui livre de ses enfants à Moloc, et s’il ne le fait pas mourir,

5 je tournerai, moi, ma face contre cet homme et contre sa famille, et je le retrancherai du milieu de son peuple, avec tous ceux qui se prostituent comme lui en se prostituant à Moloc.
