Deuteronomy 18:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 The Levitical priests� indeed, the entire tribe of Levi� will have no allotment or inheritance with Israel; they may eat the burnt offerings of the LORD and of his inheritance.
2 They will have no inheritance in the midst of their fellow Israelites; the LORD alone is their inheritance, just as he had told them.
3 This shall be the priests' fair allotment from the people who offer sacrifices, whether bull or sheep� they must give to the priest the shoulder, the jowls, and the stomach.
4 You must give them the best of your grain, new wine, and olive oil, as well as the best of your wool when you shear your flocks.
5 For the LORD your God has chosen them and their sons from all your tribes to stand and serve in his name permanently.
6 Suppose a Levite comes by his own free will from one of your villages, from any part of Israel where he is living, to the place the LORD chooses
7 and serves in the name of the LORD his God like his fellow Levites who stand there before the LORD.
8 He must eat the same share they do, despite any profits he may gain from the sale of his family's inheritance.
9 When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, you must not learn the abhorrent practices of those nations.
10 There must never be found among you anyone who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, anyone who practices divination, an omen reader, a soothsayer, a sorcerer,
11 one who casts spells, one who conjures up spirits, a practitioner of the occult, or a necromancer.
12 Whoever does these things is abhorrent to the LORD and because of these detestable things the LORD your God is about to drive them out from before you.
13 You must be blameless before the LORD your God.
14 Those nations that you are about to dispossess listen to omen readers and diviners, but the LORD your God has not given you permission to do such things.
15 The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you� from your fellow Israelites; you must listen to him.
16 This accords with what happened at Horeb in the day of the assembly. You asked the LORD your God: "Please do not make us hear the voice of the LORD our God any more or see this great fire any more lest we die."
17 The LORD then said to me, "What they have said is good.
18 I will raise up a prophet like you for them from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth and he will speak to them whatever I command.
19 I will personally hold responsible anyone who then pays no attention to the words that prophet speaks in my name.
20 "But if any prophet presumes to speak anything in my name that I have not authorized him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die.
21 Now if you say to yourselves, 'How can we tell that a message is not from the LORD?'�
22 whenever a prophet speaks in my name and the prediction is not fulfilled, then I have not spoken it; the prophet has presumed to speak it, so you need not fear him."
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 of the LORD made by fire H801 H3068 , and his inheritance. H5159
2 Therefore shall they have H1961 no H3808 inheritance H5159 among H7130 their brethren: H251 the LORD H3068 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 H4480 H854 the people, H5971 from H4480 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 H4480 H3605 thy tribes, H7626 to stand H5975 to minister H8334 in the name H8034 of the LORD, H3068 him H1931 and his sons H1121 forever H3605 H3117 .
6 And if H3588 a Levite H3881 come H935 from any H4480 H259 of thy gates H8179 out of all H4480 H3605 Israel, H3478 where H834 H8033 he H1931 sojourned, H1481 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 shall have like portions H2506 H2506 to eat, H398 beside H905 that which cometh of the sale H4480 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 not H3808 learn H3925 to do H6213 after the abominations H8441 of those H1992 nations. H1471
10 There shall not H3808 be found H4672 among you any one that maketh his son H1121 or his daughter H1323 to pass through H5674 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 H1558 of these H428 abominations H8441 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 doth drive them out H3423 H853 from before H4480 H6440 thee.
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 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 H4480 H7130 of thee , of thy brethren H4480 H251 , like unto me; H3644 unto H413 him ye shall hearken; H8085
16 According to all H3605 that H834 thou desiredst H7592 of H4480 H5973 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 in Horeb H2722 in the day H3117 of the assembly, H6951 saying, H559 Let me not H3808 hear H8085 again H3254 H853 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 my God, H430 neither H3808 let me see H7200 this H2063 great H1419 fire H784 any more, H5750 that I die H4191 not. H3808
17 And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me , They have well H3190 spoken that which H834 they have spoken. H1696
18 I will raise them up H6965 a Prophet H5030 from among H4480 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 H413 them H853 all H3605 that H834 I shall command H6680 him.
19 And it shall come to pass, H1961 that whosoever H376 H834 will 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 H4480 H5973 him.
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 not H3808 commanded H6680 him 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 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 not H3808 spoken, H1696 but the prophet H5030 hath spoken H1696 it presumptuously: H2087 thou shalt not H3808 be afraid H1481 of H4480 him.
