Deut 18
1
The priests, the Levites, even the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance
with Israel; the burnt-offerings of the Lord are their inheritance, they shall eat
them.
2
And they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the Lord himself is his portion,
as he said to him.
3
And this is the due of the priests in the things coming from the people from those
who offer sacrifices, whether it be a calf or a sheep; and you shall give the shoulder
to the priest, and the cheeks, and the great intestine:
4
and the first-fruits of your corn, and of your wine, and of your oil; and you shall
give to him the first-fruits of the fleeces of your sheep:
5
because the Lord has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand before the Lord your
God, to minister and bless in his name, himself and his sons among the children of
Israel.
6
And if a Levite come from one of the cities of all the children of Israel, where he
himself dwells, accordingly as his mind desires, to the place which i. e. God he shall have chosen,
7
he shall minister to the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites,
who stand there present before the Lord your God.
8
He shall eat an allotted portion, besides the sale of his hereditary property.
9
And when you shall have entered into the land which the Lord your God gives you, you
shall not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
10
There shall not be found in you one who purges his son or his daughter with fire,
one who Gr. divines uses divination, who deals with omens, and augury,
11
a sorcerer employing incantation, one who has in him a divining spirit, and observer
of signs, questioning the dead.
12
For every one that does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God; for because
of these abominations the Lord will destroy them from before your face.
13
You shall be perfect before the Lord your God.
14
For all these nations whose land you shall inherit, they will listen to omens and
divinations; but the Lord your God has not permitted you so to do.
15
Ac 3:22 The Lord your God shall raise up to you a prophet of your brethren, like me; him
shall you hear:
16
according to all things which you did desire of the Lord your God in Choreb in the
day of the assembly, saying, We will not again hear the voice of the Lord your God,
and we will not any more see this great fire, and so we shall not die.
17
And the Lord said to me, They have spoken rightly all that they have said to you.
18
I will raise up to them a prophet of their brethren, like you; and I will put my words
in his mouth, and he shall speak to them as I shall command him.
19
Ac 3:23 And whatever man shall not hearken to whatever words that prophet shall speak in
my name, I will take vengeance on him.
20
But the prophet whoever shall impiously speak in my name a word which I have not commanded
him to speak, and whoever shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall
die.
21
But if you shall say in your heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord has
not spoken?
22
Whatever words that prophet shall speak in the name of the Lord, and they shall not
come true, and not come to pass, this is the thing which the Lord has not spoken;
that prophet has spoken wickedly: you shall not spare him.
