Rien de ce qui sera dévoué par interdit ne s'attachera à ta main, afin que l'Eternel revienne de l'ardeur de sa colère, qu'il te fasse miséricorde et grâce, et qu'il te multiplie, comme il l'a juré à tes pères,

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Et il ne demeurera rien de l'interdit en ta main, afin que l'Éternel revienne de l'ardeur de sa colère, et qu'il te fasse miséricorde, et qu'il ait pitié de toi, et qu'il te multiplie, comme il l'a juré à tes pères,
Darby's French Translation
Et il ne s'attachera rien de cet anathème à ta main, afin que l'Éternel revienne de l'ardeur de sa colère, et qu'il te fasse miséricorde, et ait compassion de toi, et qu'il te multiplie, comme il a juré à tes pères,
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Et rien de l'interdit ne demeurera en ta main, afin que l'Eternel se départe de l'ardeur de sa colère, et qu'il te fasse miséricorde, et ait pitié de toi, et qu'il te multiplie, comme il a juré à tes pères.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand,.... That is, they might not take anything whatever to their own use; for all being devoted to destruction, was cursed, and brought a curse upon the man that should make it his own property, as Achan did, when Jericho was destroyed:

that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger; stirred up by the idolatry of the city:

and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee; who, seeing wrath gone forth, might dread the consequences, lest it should spread itself further:

and multiply thee, as he hath sworn to thy fathers; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; this is observed to encourage them to execute his orders punctually in the destruction of the idolatrous city; since God could and would multiply them, as he had promised their fathers, with an oath, so that they should not be the fewer by such an instance of his severity.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 13:17. And there shall cleave naught of the cursed thing — As God did not permit them to take the spoils of these idolatrous cities, they could be under no temptation to make war upon them. It could only be done through a merely religious motive, in obedience to the command of God, as they could have no profit by the subversion of such places. How few religious wars would there ever have been in the world had they been regulated by this principle: "Thou shalt neither extend thy territory, nor take any spoils!"
