Provision for the Descendants of Levi

18"The Levitical priests, the whole tribe of Levi, will not have a portion or an inheritance within Israel.

3"A portion of what the people offer in sacrifice, whether cattle or sheep, shall be due the priests. They must set aside the shoulder, jowls, and stomach for the priest.H3548H4941H5971H2076H2077H7794H7716H5414H3548H2220H3895H6896 4Give them the first gatherings of your grain, wine, oil, and wool from the shearing of your flock.H7225H1715H8492H3323H7225H1488H6629H5414 5For the Lord your God has chosen them and their descendants from among your tribes to stand and serve in the name of the Lord all their lives."H3068H430H977H7626H5975H8334H8034H3068H1121H3117

Provision for the Itinerant Levite

6"Any Levite who wishes to do so may come from any city or part of Israel where he resides to the place that the Lord will choose.H3881H935H259H8179H3478H1481H935H185H5315H4725H3068H977 7There he may serve in the name of the Lord his God. Like his fellow Levites who stand there in the Lord's presence,H8334H8034H3068H430H251H3881H5975H6440H3068 8he may eat the same share as they do regardless of what he receives from his ancestral estate."H2506H398H4465H1 9"When you enter the land that the Lord your God is about to give you, don't learn the detestable practices of those nations there.H935H776H3068H430H5414H3925H6213H8441H1471 10There must never be found among you anyone who sacrifices his son or daughter in fire, practices divination, interprets omens, practices sorcery,H4672H1121H1323H5674H784H7080H7081H6049H5172H3784 11casts spells, or who is a medium, an occultist, or a necromancer.H2266H2267H7592H178H3049H1875H4191 12Whoever practices these things is detestable to the Lord, and the Lord your God will expel them before you because of these things.H6213H8441H3068H1558H8441H3068H430H3423H6440 13You must be completely faithful to the Lord your God,H8549H3068H430 14because those nations that you are about to dispossess listen to those who practice witchcraft and divination. But the Lord does not allow you to act this way."1810H1471H3423H8085H6049H7080H3068H430H5414 15"The Lord your God will raise up a prophet like me for you from among your relatives. You must listen to him.H3068H430H6965H5030H7130H251H8085 16For this is what you asked from the Lord your God at Horeb when you were assembled together: 'Don't let us hear the voice of the Lord our God again, or even see this great fire - otherwise, we will die.'H7592H3068H430H2722H3117H6951H559H8085H3254H6963H3068H430H7200H1419H784H4191 17"Then the Lord said to me: 'What they have suggested is good.H3068H559H3190H1696 18I will raise up a prophet like you from among their relatives, and I will place my words in his mouth so that he may expound everything that I have commanded to them.H6965H5030H7130H251H5414H1697H6310H1696H6680 19But if someone will not listen to those words that the prophet speaks in my name, I will hold him accountable.H376H8085H1697H1696H8034H1875 20Even then, if the prophet speaks presumptuously in my name, which I didn't authorize him to speak, or if he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die.'H5030H2102H1696H1697H8034H6680H1696H1696H8034H312H430H5030H4191 21Now you may ask yourselves, 'How will we be able to discern that the Lord has not spoken?'H559H3824H3045H1697H3068H1696 22Whenever a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, and the oracle does not come about or the word is not fulfilled, then the Lord has not spoken it. The prophet will have spoken presumptuously, so you need not fear him."H5030H1696H8034H3068H1697H935H1697H3068H1696H5030H1696H2087H1481
