Ils doivent éviter toute souillure et maintenir un comportement exemplaire. Lévitique 22 poursuit avec des instructions sur les offrandes : elles doivent être irréprochables, reflétant la pureté de celui qui les offre. Dieu rappelle que toute imperfection est incompatible avec son service et que l’humanité doit respecter la sainteté de ses commandements.**** SOUTENIR  C'est par ici que ça se passe 👇https://www.helloasso.com/associations/l-amour-vaincra/formulaires/5sur Youtube si le lien ne s'ouvre pas :https://tr.ee/ZfblXxPourquoi ? "Le Bible en 1 an" une sacrée aventure et ... un énorme boulot pour ma ptite équipe et moi 😅 Pour nous aider et vous offrir une écoute de la bible la plus agréable possible, on a fait appel à des professionnels du podcast, et continuer à travailler sur tous les autres projets de l'Amour vaincra.
