BCC ²² Moïse répondit : "Il ne convient pas de faire ainsi, car c'est une abomination pour les Égyptiens que les sacrifices que nous offrons à Yahweh, notre Dieu ; et si nous offrons, sous les yeux des Égyptiens, des sacrifices qui sont pour eux des abominations, ne nous lapideront-ils pas ?

BCC ²⁶ Moïse sortit de chez Pharaon et pria Yahweh.
