1The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Yashar'el (Israel): they shall eat the offerings of Yahuah (LORD) made by fire, and his inheritance.
2Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: Yahuah (LORD) is their inheritance, as he has said unto them.
3And 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.
4The firstfruit also of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, shall you give him.
5For Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of Yahuah (LORD), him and his sons for ever.
6And if a Levite come from any of your gates out of all Yashar'el (Israel), where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which Yahuah (LORD) shall choose;
7Then he shall minister in the name of Yahuah Elohav (the LORD his God), as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before Yahuah (LORD).
8They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which comes of the sale of his patrimony.
9When you are come into the land which Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10There shall not be found among you any one that makes 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,
11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12For all that do these things are an abomination unto Yahuah (LORD): and because of these abominations Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) does drive them out from before you.
13You shall be perfect with Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God).
14For these nations, which you shall possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for you, Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) has not suffered you so to do.
15Yahuah Elohayka (The LORD thy God) will raise up unto you a Prophet from the midst of you, of your brethren, like unto me; unto him you shall hearken;
16According to all that you desiredst of Yahuah Elohayka (the LORD thy God) in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Yahuah Elohai (the LORD my God), neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
17And Yahuah (LORD) said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
18I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19And 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.
20But 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.
21And if you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which Yahuah (LORD) has not spoken?
22When a prophet speaks in the name of Yahuah (LORD), if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Yahuah (LORD) has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously: you shall not be afraid of him.
