Deuteronomy 18:1
|
|
The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of
Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings
of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:2 |
|
Therefore shall they have no inheritance among
their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:3 |
|
And this shall be the priest's due from the
people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they
shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:4 |
|
The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine,
and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:5 |
|
For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of
all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons
for ever. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:6 |
|
And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out
of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto
the place which the LORD shall choose; |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:7 |
|
Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD
his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:8 |
|
They shall have like portions to eat, beside
that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:9 |
|
When thou art come into the land which the LORD
thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those
nations. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:10 |
|
There shall not be found among you any one that
maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination,
or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:11 |
|
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar
spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:12 |
|
For all that do these things are an abomination
unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them
out from before thee. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:13 |
|
Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:14 |
|
For these nations, which thou shalt possess,
hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD
thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:15 |
|
The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet
from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:16 |
|
According to all that thou desiredst of the
LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again
the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that
I die not. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:17 |
|
And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken
that which they have spoken. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:18 |
|
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their
brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak
unto them all that I shall command him. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:19 |
|
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will
not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of
him. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:20 |
|
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak
a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak
in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:21 |
|
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we
know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:22 |
|
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD,
if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath
not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid
of him. |
