1The priests the Levites, even all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of Yehovah made by fire, and his inheritance. 2And they shall have no inheritance among their brothers: Yehovah is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them. 3And this shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it is ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the stomach. 4The first-fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him. 5For Yehovah your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of Yehovah, him and his sons for ever. 6And if a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he sojourns, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Yehovah shall choose; 7then he shall minister in the name of Yehovah his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before Yehovah. 8They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which comes from the sale of his patrimony. 9When you have come into the land which Yehovah your God gives you, you shall not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations. 10There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices augury, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, 11or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yehovah: and because of these abominations Yehovah your God is driving them out from before you. 13You shall be perfect with Yehovah your God. 14For these nations, that you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice augury, and to diviners; but as for you, Yehovah your God has not allowed you to do so. 15Yehovah your God will raise up to you a prophet from the midst of you, of your brothers, like me; to him you shall listen; 16according to all that you desired of Yehovah your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Yehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I may not die. 17And Yehovah said to me, They have spoken well in that which they have spoken. 18I will raise up for them a prophet from among their brothers, like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him. 19And it shall come to pass, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 20But the prophet who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. 21And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which Yehovah has not spoken? 22when a prophet speaks in the name of Yehovah, if the thing does not follow, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Yehovah has not spoken: the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him.
