Deuteronomy 18 (WEBP)

[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.

Deuteronomy 18 (BYZ)

[1] ουκ εσται τοις ιερευσιν τοις λευιταις ολη φυλη λευι μερις ουδε κληρος μετα ισραηλ καρπωματα κυριου ο κληρος αυτων φαγονται αυτα
[2] κληρος δε ουκ εσται αυτοις εν τοις αδελφοις αυτων κυριος αυτος κληρος αυτου καθοτι ειπεν αυτω
[3] και αυτη η κρισις των ιερεων τα παρα του λαου παρα των θυοντων τα θυματα εαν τε μοσχον εαν τε προβατον και δωσει τω ιερει τον βραχιονα και τα σιαγονια και το ενυστρον
[4] και τας απαρχας του σιτου σου και του οινου σου και του ελαιου σου και την απαρχην των κουρων των προβατων σου δωσεις αυτω
[5] οτι αυτον εξελεξατο κυριος ο θεος σου εκ πασων των φυλων σου παρεσταναι εναντι κυριου του θεου σου λειτουργειν και ευλογειν επι τω ονοματι αυτου αυτος και οι υιοι αυτου εν τοις υιοις ισραηλ
[6] εαν δε παραγενηται ο λευιτης εκ μιας των πολεων υμων εκ παντων των υιων ισραηλ ου αυτος παροικει καθοτι επιθυμει η ψυχη αυτου εις τον τοπον ον αν εκλεξηται κυριος
[7] και λειτουργησει τω ονοματι κυριου του θεου αυτου ωσπερ παντες οι αδελφοι αυτου οι λευιται οι παρεστηκοτες εκει εναντι κυριου
[8] μεριδα μεμερισμενην φαγεται πλην της πρασεως της κατα πατριαν
[9] εαν δε εισελθης εις την γην ην κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι ου μαθηση ποιειν κατα τα βδελυγματα των εθνων εκεινων
[10] ουχ ευρεθησεται εν σοι περικαθαιρων τον υιον αυτου η την θυγατερα αυτου εν πυρι μαντευομενος μαντειαν κληδονιζομενος και οιωνιζομενος φαρμακος
[11] επαειδων επαοιδην εγγαστριμυθος και τερατοσκοπος επερωτων τους νεκρους
[12] εστιν γαρ βδελυγμα κυριω τω θεω σου πας ποιων ταυτα ενεκεν γαρ των βδελυγματων τουτων κυριος εξολεθρευσει αυτους απο σου
[13] τελειος εση εναντιον κυριου του θεου σου
[14] τα γαρ εθνη ταυτα ους συ κατακληρονομεις αυτους ουτοι κληδονων και μαντειων ακουσονται σοι δε ουχ ουτως εδωκεν κυριος ο θεος σου
[15] προφητην εκ των αδελφων σου ως εμε αναστησει σοι κυριος ο θεος σου αυτου ακουσεσθε
[16] κατα παντα οσα ητησω παρα κυριου του θεου σου εν χωρηβ τη ημερα της εκκλησιας λεγοντες ου προσθησομεν ακουσαι την φωνην κυριου του θεου ημων και το πυρ το μεγα τουτο ουκ οψομεθα ετι ουδε μη αποθανωμεν
[17] και ειπεν κυριος προς με ορθως παντα οσα ελαλησαν
[18] προφητην αναστησω αυτοις εκ των αδελφων αυτων ωσπερ σε και δωσω το ρημα μου εν τω στοματι αυτου και λαλησει αυτοις καθοτι αν εντειλωμαι αυτω
[19] και ο ανθρωπος ος εαν μη ακουση οσα εαν λαληση ο προφητης επι τω ονοματι μου εγω εκδικησω εξ αυτου
[20] πλην ο προφητης ος αν ασεβηση λαλησαι επι τω ονοματι μου ρημα ο ου προσεταξα λαλησαι και ος αν λαληση επ ονοματι θεων ετερων αποθανειται ο προφητης εκεινος
[21] εαν δε ειπης εν τη καρδια σου πως γνωσομεθα το ρημα ο ουκ ελαλησεν κυριος
[22] οσα εαν λαληση ο προφητης επι τω ονοματι κυριου και μη γενηται το ρημα και μη συμβη τουτο το ρημα ο ουκ ελαλησεν κυριος εν ασεβεια ελαλησεν ο προφητης εκεινος ουκ αφεξεσθε αυτου
