Numbers 14:16 in Context — Numbers 14
14 et ils le diront aux habitants de ce pays. Ils savaient que toi, l’Éternel, tu es au milieu de ce peuple; que tu apparais visiblement, toi, l’Éternel; que ta nuée se tient sur lui; que tu marches devant lui le jour dans une colonne de nuée, et la nuit dans une colonne de feu.
15 Si tu fais mourir ce peuple comme un seul homme, les nations qui ont entendu parler de toi diront:
16 L’Éternel n’avait pas le pouvoir de mener ce peuple dans le pays qu’il avait juré de lui donner: c’est pour cela qu’il l’a égorgé dans le désert.
17 Maintenant, que la puissance du Seigneur se montre dans sa grandeur, comme tu l’as déclaré en disant:
18 L’Éternel est lent à la colère et riche en bonté, il pardonne l’iniquité et la rébellion; mais il ne tient point le coupable pour innocent, et il punit l’iniquité des pères sur les enfants jusqu’à la troisième et la quatrième génération.
