Leviticus 10:11
French (La Bible expliquée)
ou encore lorsque vous devez enseigner aux Israélites les lois que je leur ai transmises par l'intermédiaire de Moïse. » La loi insiste sur l'importance de savoir distinguer entre le sacré et le profane, entre le pur et l'impur. Les instructions données aux fils d'Aaron (v. 10-11) annoncent celles des chap. 11–15 sur le pur et l'impur. Les prêtres suivent l'exemple du Créateur, qui a séparé les éléments (Gen 1.4 6 7 18, avec le même verbe qu'ici). L'acte de différencier contribue à maintenir l'ordre divin de la création. Les prêtres ont le devoir d'enseigner de façon responsable les prescriptions du Seigneur. Pour remplir leur fonction d'une manière lucide, ils doivent s'abstenir de tout alcool avant de prendre leur service.
