1
The priests[H3548] the Levites[H3881], and all the tribe[H7626] of Levi[H3878], shall have no part[H2506] nor inheritance[H5159] with Israel[H3478]: they shall eat[H398] the offerings[H801] of the LORD[H3068] made by fire[H801], and his inheritance[H5159].
2
Therefore shall they have no inheritance[H5159]among[H7130] their brethren[H251]: the LORD[H3068] is their inheritance[H5159], as he hath said[H1696] unto them.
3
And this shall be the priest[H3548]'s due[H4941] from the people[H5971], from them that offer[H2076] a sacrifice[H2077], whether it be ox[H7794] or sheep[H7716]; and they shall give[H5414] unto the priest[H3548] the shoulder[H2220], and the two cheeks[H3895], and the maw[H6896].
4
The firstfruit[H7225] also of thy corn[H1715], of thy wine[H8492], and of thine oil[H3323], and the first[H7225] of the fleece[H1488] of thy sheep[H6629], shalt thou give[H5414] him.
5
For the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] hath chosen[H977] him out of all thy tribes[H7626], to stand[H5975] to minister[H8334] in the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068], him and his sons[H1121] for ever[H3117].
6
And if a Levite[H3881]come[H935] from any[H259] of thy gates[H8179] out of all Israel[H3478], where he sojourned[H1481], and come[H935] with all the desire[H185] of his mind[H5315] unto the place[H4725] which the LORD[H3068] shall choose[H977];
7
Then he shall minister[H8334] in the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068] his God[H430], as all his brethren[H251] the Levites[H3881] do, which stand[H5975] there before[H6440] the LORD[H3068].
8
They shall have like portions[H2506] to eat[H398], beside that which cometh of the sale[H4465] of his patrimony[H1].
9
When thou art come[H935] into the land[H776] which the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430]giveth[H5414] thee, thou shalt not learn[H3925] to do[H6213] after the abominations[H8441] of those nations[H1471].
10
There shall not be found[H4672] among you any one that maketh his son[H1121] or his daughter[H1323] to pass[H5674] through the fire[H784], or that useth[H7080]divination[H7081], or an observer of times[H6049], or an enchanter[H5172], or a witch[H3784],
11
Or a charmer[H2266], or a consulter[H7592] with familiar spirits[H178], or a wizard[H3049], or a necromancer[H1875].
12
For all that do[H6213] these things are an abomination[H8441] unto the LORD[H3068]: and because[H1558] of these abominations[H8441] the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] doth drive them out[H3423] from before[H6440] thee.
13
Thou shalt be perfect[H8549] with the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430].
14
For these nations[H1471], which thou shalt possess[H3423], hearkened[H8085] unto observers of times[H6049], and unto diviners[H7080]: but as for thee, the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] hath not suffered[H5414] thee so to do.
15
The LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] will raise up[H6965] unto thee a Prophet[H5030] from the midst[H7130] of thee, of thy brethren[H251], like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken[H8085];
16
According to all that thou desiredst[H7592] of the LORD[H3068] thy God[H430] in Horeb[H2722] in the day[H3117] of the assembly[H6951], saying[H559], Let me not hear[H8085]again[H3254] the voice[H6963] of the LORD[H3068] my God[H430], neither let me see[H7200] this great[H1419]fire[H784] any more, that I die[H4191] not.
17
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto me, They have well[H3190]spoken[H1696] that which they have spoken[H1696].
18
I will raise them up[H6965] a Prophet[H5030] from among[H7130] their brethren[H251], like unto thee, and will put[H5414] my words[H1697] in his mouth[H6310]; and he shall speak[H1696] unto them all that I shall command[H6680] him.
19
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever[H376] will not hearken[H8085] unto my words[H1697] which he shall speak[H1696] in my name[H8034], I will require[H1875] it of him.
20
But the prophet[H5030], which shall presume[H2102] to speak[H1696] a word[H1697] in my name[H8034], which I have not commanded[H6680] him to speak[H1696], or that shall speak[H1696] in the name[H8034] of other[H312]gods[H430], even that prophet[H5030] shall die[H4191].
21
And if thou say[H559] in thine heart[H3824], How shall we know[H3045] the word[H1697] which the LORD[H3068] hath not spoken?[H1696]
22
When a prophet[H5030]speaketh[H1696] in the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068], if the thing[H1697] follow not, nor come to pass[H935], that is the thing[H1697] which the LORD[H3068] hath not spoken[H1696], but the prophet[H5030] hath spoken[H1696] it presumptuously[H2087]: thou shalt not be afraid[H1481] of him.
