  2. Explication du texte

Does everyone really need to participate in a joint confession of guilt?

Joël 2:16 (NEG79)

16 Assemblez le peuple, formez une sainte réunion! Assemblez les vieillards, Assemblez les enfants, Même les nourrissons à la mamelle! Que l'époux sorte de sa demeure, Et l'épouse de sa chambre!

A newlywed man was exempted from service, even in wartime. But this does not apply in the case of a joint confession of guilt. Even the greatest happiness needs to be interrupted when there is collective guilt before God.
