¹ The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.

² Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.

³ And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.

⁴ The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.

⁵ For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.

⁶ And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;

⁷ Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.

⁸ They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.

⁹ When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

¹⁰ There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

¹¹ Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

¹² For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

¹³ Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

¹⁴ For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

¹⁵ The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

¹⁶ According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.

¹⁷ And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.

¹⁸ I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

¹⁹ And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

²⁰ But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

²¹ And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

²² When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

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's ^H3548 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

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.

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

¹ The priests, the Levites, that is, all the tribe of Levi, will have no part or heritage with Israel: their food and their heritage will be the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

² And they will have no heritage among their countrymen: the Lord is their heritage, as he has said to them.

³ And this is to be the priests' right: those who make an offering of a sheep or an ox are to give to the priest the top part of the leg and the two sides of the head and the stomach.

⁴ And in addition you are to give him the first of your grain and wine and oil, and the first wool cut from your sheep.

⁵ For he, and his sons after him for ever, have been marked out by the Lord your God from all your tribes, to do the work of priests in the name of the Lord.

⁶ And if a Levite, moved by a strong desire, comes from any town in all Israel where he is living to the place marked out by the Lord;

⁷ Then he will do the work of a priest in the name of the Lord his God, with all his brothers the Levites who are there before the Lord.

⁸ His food will be the same as theirs, in addition to what has come to him as the price of his property.

⁹ When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, do not take as your example the disgusting ways of those nations.

¹⁰ Let there not be seen among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter go through the fire, or anyone using secret arts, or a maker of strange sounds, or a reader of signs, or any wonder-worker,

¹¹ Or anyone using secret force on people, or putting questions to a spirit, or having secret knowledge, or going to the dead for directions.

¹² For all who do such things are disgusting to the Lord; and because of these disgusting things the Lord your God is driving them out before you.

¹³ You are to be upright in heart before the Lord your God.

¹⁴ For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.

¹⁵ The Lord your God will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to him;

¹⁶ In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me.

¹⁷ Then the Lord said to me, What they have said is well said.

¹⁸ I will give them a prophet from among themselves, like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will say to them whatever I give him orders to say.

¹⁹ And whoever does not give ear to my words which he will say in my name, will be responsible to me.

²⁰ But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death.

²¹ And if you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?

²² When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear of him.
