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
.
Therefore shall they have no inheritance among
their brethren
: the LORD
is their inheritance
, as he hath said
unto them.
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
.
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.
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
.
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
;
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
.
They shall have like portions to eat
, beside that which cometh of the sale
of his patrimony
.
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
.
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
,
Or a charmer, or a consulter
with familiar spirits
, or a wizard
, or a necromancer
.
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.
Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD
thy God
.
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 .
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
;
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.
And the LORD said
unto me, They have well
spoken that which they have spoken
.
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.
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.
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
.
And if thou say in thine heart
, How shall we know
the word
which the LORD
hath not spoken
?
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.
