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.
