[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 H3605 the tribe H7626 of Levi, H3878 shall have H1961 no H3808 part H2506 nor inheritance H5159 with H5973 Israel: H3478 they shall eat H398 the offerings H801 of the Lord H3068 made by fire, H801 and his inheritance. H5159 [2] Therefore shall H1961 they have H1961 no H3808 inheritance H5159 among H7130 their brethren: H251 the Lord H3068 H1931 is their inheritance, H5159 as H834 he hath said H1696 unto them. [3] And this H2088 shall be H1961 the priest’s H3548 due H4941 from H854 the people, H5971 from H854 them that offer H2076 a sacrifice, H2077 whether H518 it be ox H7794 or H518 sheep; H7716 and they shall give H5414 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 him. [5] For H3588 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 hath chosen H977 him out of all H3605 thy tribes, H7626 to stand H5975 to minister H8334 in the name H8034 of the Lord, H3068 him H1931 and his sons H1121 for ever. H3605 H3117 [6] And if H3588 a Levite H3881 come H935 from any H259 of thy gates H8179 out of all H3605 Israel, H3478 where H834 he H1931 sojourned, H1481 H8033 and come H935 with all H3605 the desire H185 of his mind H5315 unto H413 the place H4725 which H834 the Lord H3068 shall choose; H977 [7] then he shall minister H8334 in the name H8034 of the Lord H3068 his God, H430 as all H3605 his brethren H251 the Levites H3881 do, which stand H5975 there H8033 before H6440 the Lord. H3068 [8] They H398 shall have like portions H2506 H2506 to eat, H398 beside H905 that which cometh of the sale H4465 of H5921 his patrimony. H1 [9] When H3588 thou H859 art come H935 into H413 the land H776 which H834 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 thee, thou shalt H3925 not H3808 learn H3925 to do H6213 after the abominations H8441 of those H1992 nations. H1471 [10] There shall H4672 not H3808 be found H4672 among you any one that maketh H5674 his son H1121 or his daughter H1323 to pass H5674 through the fire, H784 or that useth H7080 divination, H7081 or an observer of times, H6049 or an enchanter, H5172 or a witch, H3784 [11] or a charmer, H2266 H2267 or a consulter H7592 with familiar spirits, H178 or a wizard, H3049 or a necromancer. H1875 H413 H4191 [12] For H3588 all H3605 that do H6213 these things H428 are an abomination H8441 unto the Lord: H3068 and because of H1558 these H428 abominations H8441 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 doth drive H3423 them H853 out H3423 from before thee. H6440 [13] Thou shalt be H1961 perfect H8549§ with H5973 the Lord H3068 thy God. H430 [14] For H3588 these H428 nations, H1471 which H834 thou H859 shalt possess, H3423§ H853 hearkened H8085 unto H413 observers of times, H6049 and unto H413 diviners: H7080 but as for thee, H859 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 hath H5414 not H3808 suffered H5414 thee so H3651 to do. [15] The Lord H3068 thy God H430 will raise up H6965 unto thee a Prophet H5030 from the midst of thee, H7130 of thy brethren, H251 like unto me; H3644 unto him H413 ye shall hearken; H8085 [16] according to all H3605 that H834 thou desiredst H7592 of H5973 the Lord H3068 thy God H430 in Horeb H2722 in the day H3117 of the assembly, H6951 saying, H559 Let me H3254 not H3808 hear H8085 again H3254 H853 the voice H6963 of the Lord H3068 my God, H430 neither H3808 let me see H7200 H853 this H2063 great H1419 fire H784 any more, H5750 that H3808 I die H4191 not. H3808 [17] And the Lord H3068 said H559 unto me, H413 They have well H3190 spoken that which H834 they have spoken. H1696 [18] I will raise H6965 them up H6965 a Prophet H5030 from among H7130 their brethren, H251 like unto thee, H3644 and will put H5414 my words H1697 in his mouth; H6310 and he shall speak H1696 unto them H413 H853 all H3605 that H834 I shall command him. H6680 [19] And it shall come to pass, H1961 that whosoever H376 H834 will H8085 not H3808 hearken H8085 unto H413 my words H1697 which H834 he shall speak H1696 in my name, H8034 I H595 will require H1875 it of him. H5973 [20] But H389 the prophet, H5030 which H834 shall presume H2102 to speak H1696 a word H1697 in my name, H8034 H853 which H834 I have H6680 not H3808 commanded H6680 him H6680 to speak, H1696 or that H834 shall speak H1696 in the name H8034 of other H312 gods, H430 even that H1931 prophet H5030 shall die. H4191 [21] And if H3588 thou say H559 in thine heart, H3824 How H349 shall we know H3045 H853 the word H1697 which H834 the Lord H3068 hath H1696 not H3808 spoken? H1696 [22] When H834 a prophet H5030 speaketh H1696 in the name H8034 of the Lord, H3068 if the thing H1697 follow H1961 not, H3808 nor H3808 come to pass, H935 that H1931 is the thing H1697 which H834 the Lord H3068 hath H1696 not H3808 spoken, H1696 but the prophet H5030 hath spoken it H1696 presumptuously: H2087 thou shalt H1481 not H3808 be afraid H1481 of him.
