Exode 23:10-19

Listen to Exode 23:10-19
10 Pendant six années tu sÚmeras la terre, et tu en recueilleras le produit;
11 Mais la septiĂšme, tu la mettras en jachĂšre et la laisseras reposer; et les pauvres de ton peuple en mangeront les fruits, et les animaux des champs mangeront ce qui restera. Tu en feras de mĂȘme de ta vigne, de tes oliviers.
12 Six jours durant tu feras ton ouvrage, mais au septiĂšme jour tu te reposeras, afin que ton bƓuf et ton Ăąne se reposent, et que le fils de ta servante et l'Ă©tranger reprennent des forces.
13 Vous prendrez garde à tout ce que je vous ai dit. Vous ne ferez point mention du nom des dieux étrangers; on ne l'entendra point sortir de ta bouche.
14 Trois fois l'annĂ©e tu me cĂ©lĂ©breras une fĂȘte
15 Tu observeras la fĂȘte des pains sans levain (tu mangeras des pains sans levain pendant sept jours, comme je te l'ai commandĂ©, Ă  l'Ă©poque du mois des Ă©pis, car en ce mois-lĂ  tu es sorti d'Égypte; et l'on ne se prĂ©sentera point Ă  vide devant ma face);
16 Et la fĂȘte de la moisson, des premiers fruits de ton travail, de ce que tu auras semĂ© aux champs; et la fĂȘte de la rĂ©colte, Ă  la fin de l'annĂ©e, quand tu auras recueilli des champs les fruits de ton travail.
17 Trois fois l'an tous les mĂąles se prĂ©senteront devant le Seigneur, l'Éternel.
18 Tu n'offriras point avec du pain levĂ© le sang de mon sacrifice; et la graisse de ma fĂȘte ne passera point la nuit jusqu'au matin.
19 Tu apporteras les prĂ©mices des premiers fruits de la terre Ă  la maison de l'Éternel ton Dieu. Tu ne feras point cuire le chevreau dans le lait de sa mĂšre
