Lévitique 20:22-27

Listen to Lévitique 20:22-27
22 Vous observerez toutes mes lois et toutes mes ordonnances, et vous les pratiquerez; afin que le pays oĂč je vous mĂšne pour y habiter ne vous vomisse point.
23 Vous ne marcherez point selon les lois de la nation que je vais chasser de devant vous; car ils ont fait toutes ces choses, et je les ai en abomination.
24 Et je vous ai dit: C'est vous qui possĂ©derez leur pays; je vous le donnerai pour le possĂ©der, c'est un pays oĂč coulent le lait et le miel: Je suis l'Éternel, votre Dieu, qui vous ai sĂ©parĂ©s des peuples.
25 SĂ©parez donc la bĂȘte pure de celle qui est souillĂ©e, l'oiseau souillĂ© de celui qui est pur; et ne rendez pas vos personnes abominables par des animaux, par des oiseaux, par tout ce qui rampe sur la terre, que je vous ai fait sĂ©parer comme impurs.
26 Vous serez saints pour moi, car je suis saint, moi, l'Éternel; et je vous ai sĂ©parĂ©s des peuples, afin que vous soyez Ă  moi.
27 Lorsqu'il se trouvera un homme ou une femme évoquant les esprits ou se livrant à la divination, ils seront punis de mort; on les lapidera: leur sang sera sur eux.

Lévitique 20:22-27 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 20

In this chapter several laws are, repeated, enforced with a penalty annexed to them, and the breach them made capital, to deter from it, as giving seed to Molech, Le 20:1-5; going after such that have familiar spirits, or are wizards, Le 20:6; by shunning which, and other sins, a regard would be shown to holiness, Le 20:7,8; such as cursing parents, Le 20:9; committing adultery, Le 20:10; incestuous copulations, and marriages, and beastly actions, Le 20:11-21; all which it became the Israelites to avoid, lest, when come into the land of Canaan, they should be cast out of it, as the old inhabitants were for the same things, Le 20:22-24; and therefore, that they might appear to be a distinct people from others, they were to put a difference between clean and unclean creatures, Le 20:25,26; and the chapter is closed with a law, making it death for any person to have a familiar spirit, or to be a wizard, Le 19:27.
