[1] The priests and the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of Yahweh made by fire and his portion. [2] They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. Yahweh is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them. [3] This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts. [4] You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep. [5] For Yahweh your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in Yahweh’s name, him and his sons forever. [6] If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Yahweh shall choose, [7] then he shall minister in the name of Yahweh his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before Yahweh. [8] They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions. [9] When you have come into the land which Yahweh your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of those nations. [10] There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who tells fortunes, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, [11] or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. [12] For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. Because of these abominations, Yahweh your God drives them out from before you. [13] You shall be blameless with Yahweh your God. [14] For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, Yahweh your God has not allowed you so to do. [15] Yahweh your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him. [16] This is according to all that you desired of Yahweh your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again Yahweh my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.” [17] Yahweh said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken. [18] I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him. [19] It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. [20] But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.” [21] You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?” [22] When a prophet speaks in Yahweh’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Yahweh has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
King James Version
[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 (QalImpf) 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 (PielPerf) unto them. [3] And this shall be the priest’s H3548 due H4941 from the people, H5971 from them that offer H2076 (QalActPtc) a sacrifice, H2077 whether it be ox H7794 or sheep; H7716 and they shall give H5414 (QalPerf) 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 (QalImpf) him. [5] For the Lord H3068 thy God H430 hath chosen H977 (QalPerf) him out of all thy tribes, H7626 to stand H5975 (QalInf) to minister H8334 (PielInf) in the name H8034 of the Lord, H3068 him and his sons H1121 for ever. H3117 [6] And if a Levite H3881 come H935 (QalImpf) from any H259 of thy gates H8179 out of all Israel, H3478 where he sojourned, H1481 (QalActPtc) and come H935 (QalPerf) with all the desire H185 of his mind H5315 unto the place H4725 which the Lord H3068 shall choose; H977 (QalImpf) [7] then he shall minister H8334 (PielPerf) in the name H8034 of the Lord H3068 his God, H430 as all his brethren H251 the Levites H3881 do, which stand H5975 (QalActPtc) there before H6440 the Lord. H3068 [8] They shall have like portions H2506 to eat, H398 (QalImpf) beside that which cometh of the sale H4465 of his patrimony. H1 [9] When thou art come H935 (QalActPtc) into the land H776 which the Lord H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 (QalActPtc) thee, thou shalt not learn H3925 (QalImpf) to do H6213 (QalInf) after the abominations H8441 of those nations. H1471 [10] There shall not be found H4672 (NiphImpf) among you any one that maketh his son H1121 or his daughter H1323 to pass H5674 (HiphPtc) through the fire, H784 or that useth H7080 (QalActPtc) divination, H7081 or an observer of times, H6049 (PoelPtc) or an enchanter, H5172 (PielPtc) or a witch, H3784 (PielPtc) [11] or a charmer, H2266 (QalActPtc) or a consulter H7592 (QalActPtc) with familiar spirits, H178 or a wizard, H3049 or a necromancer. H1875 (QalActPtc) [12] For all that do H6213 (QalActPtc) 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 (HiphPtc) from before H6440 thee. [13] Thou shalt be perfect H8549§ with the Lord H3068 thy God. H430 [14] For these nations, H1471 which thou shalt possess, H3423 (QalActPtc)§ hearkened H8085 (QalImpf) unto observers of times, H6049 (PoelPtc) and unto diviners: H7080 (QalActPtc) but as for thee, the Lord H3068 thy God H430 hath not suffered H5414 (QalPerf) thee so to do. [15] The Lord H3068 thy God H430 will raise up H6965 (HiphImpf) unto thee a Prophet H5030 from the midst H7130 of thee, of thy brethren, H251 like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; H8085 (QalImpf) [16] according to all that thou desiredst H7592 (QalPerf) of the Lord H3068 thy God H430 in Horeb H2722 in the day H3117 of the assembly, H6951 saying, H559 (QalInf) Let me not hear H8085 (QalInf) again H3254 (HiphImpf) the voice H6963 of the Lord H3068 my God, H430 neither let me see H7200 (QalImpf) this great H1419 fire H784 any more, that I die H4191 (QalImpf) not. [17] And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, They have well H3190 (HiphPerf) spoken that which they have spoken. H1696 (PielPerf) [18] I will raise them up H6965 (HiphImpf) a Prophet H5030 from among H7130 their brethren, H251 like unto thee, and will put H5414 (QalPerf) my words H1697 in his mouth; H6310 and he shall speak H1696 (PielPerf) unto them all that I shall command H6680 (PielImpf) him. [19] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever H376 will not hearken H8085 (QalImpf) unto my words H1697 which he shall speak H1696 (PielImpf) in my name, H8034 I will require H1875 (QalImpf) it of him. [20] But the prophet, H5030 which shall presume H2102 (HiphImpf) to speak H1696 (PielInf) a word H1697 in my name, H8034 which I have not commanded H6680 (PielPerf) him to speak, H1696 (PielInf) or that shall speak H1696 (PielImpf) in the name H8034 of other H312 gods, H430 even that prophet H5030 shall die. H4191 (QalPerf) [21] And if thou say H559 (QalImpf) in thine heart, H3824 How shall we know H3045 (QalImpf) the word H1697 which the Lord H3068 hath not spoken? H1696 (PielPerf) [22] When a prophet H5030 speaketh H1696 (PielImpf) in the name H8034 of the Lord, H3068 if the thing H1697 follow not, nor come to pass, H935 (QalImpf) that is the thing H1697 which the Lord H3068 hath not spoken, H1696 (PielPerf) but the prophet H5030 hath spoken H1696 (PielPerf) it presumptuously: H2087 thou shalt not be afraid H1481 (QalImpf) of him.
