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 h8799 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 h8765 unto them.
3 And this shall be the priest's * h3548 due * h4941 from the people * h5971, from them that offer * h2076 h8802 a sacrifice * h2077, whether it be ox * h7794 or sheep * h7716; and they shall give * h5414 h8804 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 h8799 him.
5 For the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 hath chosen * h977 h8804 him out of all thy tribes * h7626, to stand * h5975 h8800 to minister * h8334 h8763 in the name * h8034 of the LORD * h3068, him and his sons * h1121 for ever * h3117.
6 And if a Levite * h3881 come * h935 h8799 from any * h259 of thy gates * h8179 out of all Israel * h3478, where he sojourned * h1481 h8802, and come * h935 h8804 with all the desire * h185 of his mind * h5315 unto the place * h4725 which the LORD * h3068 shall choose * h977 h8799;
7 Then he shall minister * h8334 h8765 in the name * h8034 of the LORD * h3068 his God * h430, as all his brethren * h251 the Levites * h3881 do , which stand * h5975 h8802 there before * h6440 the LORD * h3068.
8 They shall have like portions * h2506 to eat * h398 h8799, beside that which cometh of the sale * h4465 of his patrimony * h1. that...: Heb. his sale by the fathers
9 When thou art come * h935 h8802 into the land * h776 which the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 giveth * h5414 h8802 thee, thou shalt not learn * h3925 h8799 to do * h6213 h8800 after the abominations * h8441 of those nations * h1471.
10 There shall not be found * h4672 h8735 among you any one that maketh his son * h1121 or his daughter * h1323 to pass * h5674 h8688 through the fire * h784, or that useth * h7080 h8802 divination * h7081, or an observer of times * h6049 h8781, or an enchanter * h5172 h8764, or a witch * h3784 h8764,
11 Or a charmer * h2266 h8802 * h2267, or a consulter * h7592 h8802 with familiar spirits * h178, or a wizard * h3049, or a necromancer * h1875 h8802 * h4191 h8801.
12 For all that do * h6213 h8802 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 h8688 from before * h6440 thee.
13 Thou shalt be perfect * h8549 with the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430. perfect: or, upright, or, sincere
14 For these nations * h1471, which thou shalt possess * h3423 h8802, hearkened * h8085 h8799 unto observers of times * h6049 h8781, and unto diviners * h7080 h8802: but as for thee, the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 hath not suffered * h5414 h8804 thee so to do . possess: or, inherit
15 The LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 will raise up * h6965 h8686 unto thee a Prophet * h5030 from the midst * h7130 of thee, of thy brethren * h251, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken * h8085 h8799;
16 According to all that thou desiredst * h7592 h8804 of the LORD * h3068 thy God * h430 in Horeb * h2722 in the day * h3117 of the assembly * h6951, saying * h559 h8800, Let me not hear * h8085 h8800 again * h3254 h8686 the voice * h6963 of the LORD * h3068 my God * h430, neither let me see * h7200 h8799 this great * h1419 fire * h784 any more, that I die * h4191 h8799 not.
17 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto me, They have well * h3190 h8689 spoken that which they have spoken * h1696 h8765.
18 I will raise them up * h6965 h8686 a Prophet * h5030 from among * h7130 their brethren * h251, like unto thee, and will put * h5414 h8804 my words * h1697 in his mouth * h6310; and he shall speak * h1696 h8765 unto them all that I shall command * h6680 h8762 him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever * h376 will not hearken * h8085 h8799 unto my words * h1697 which he shall speak * h1696 h8762 in my name * h8034, I will require * h1875 h8799 it of him.
20 But the prophet * h5030, which shall presume * h2102 h8686 to speak * h1696 h8763 a word * h1697 in my name * h8034, which I have not commanded * h6680 h8765 him to speak * h1696 h8763, or that shall speak * h1696 h8762 in the name * h8034 of other * h312 gods * h430, even that prophet * h5030 shall die * h4191 h8804.
21 And if thou say * h559 h8799 in thine heart * h3824, How shall we know * h3045 h8799 the word * h1697 which the LORD * h3068 hath not spoken * h1696 h8765?
22 When a prophet * h5030 speaketh * h1696 h8762 in the name * h8034 of the LORD * h3068, if the thing * h1697 follow not, nor come to pass * h935 h8799, that is the thing * h1697 which the LORD * h3068 hath not spoken * h1696 h8765, but the prophet * h5030 hath spoken * h1696 h8765 it presumptuously * h2087: thou shalt not be afraid * h1481 h8799 of him.
