Portion
of the Levites |
|
|
 |
| Deuteronomy 18:1 |
|
"The Levitical priests, the whole tribe of
Levi, shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the LORD'S
offerings by fire and His portion. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:2 |
|
They shall have no inheritance among their countrymen;
the LORD is their inheritance, as He promised them. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:3 |
|
"Now this shall be the priests' due from the
people, from those who offer a sacrifice, either an ox or a sheep, of which they
shall give to the priest the shoulder and the two cheeks and the stomach. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:4 |
|
You shall give him the first fruits of your
grain, your new wine, and your oil, and the first shearing of your sheep. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:5 |
|
For the LORD your God has chosen him and his
sons from all your tribes, to stand and serve in the name of the LORD forever. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:6 |
|
"Now if a Levite comes from any of your towns
throughout Israel where he resides, and comes whenever he desires to the place
which the LORD chooses, |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:7 |
|
then he shall serve in the name of the LORD
his God, like all his fellow Levites who stand there before the LORD. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:8 |
|
They shall eat equal portions, except what they
receive from the sale of their fathers' estates. |

Spiritism
Forbidden |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:9 |
|
"When you enter the land which the LORD your
God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:10 |
|
There shall not be found among you anyone who
makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination,
one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:11 |
|
or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a
spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:12 |
|
For whoever does these things is detestable
to the LORD; and because of these detestable things the LORD your God will drive
them out before you. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:13 |
|
You shall be blameless before the LORD your
God. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:14 |
|
For those nations, which you shall dispossess,
listen to those who practice witchcraft and to diviners, but as for you, the LORD
your God has not allowed you to do so. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:15 |
|
"The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet
like me from among you, from your countrymen, you shall listen to him. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:16 |
|
This is according to all that you asked of the
LORD your God in Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, 'Let me not hear again
the voice of the LORD my God, let me not see this great fire anymore, or I will
die.' |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:17 |
|
The LORD said to me, 'They have spoken well. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:18 |
|
I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen
like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all
that I command him. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:19 |
|
It shall come about that whoever will not listen
to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:20 |
|
But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously
in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the
name of other gods, that prophet shall die.' |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:21 |
|
You may say in your heart, 'How will we know
the word which the LORD has not spoken?' |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 18:22 |
|
When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD,
if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD
has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid
of him. |
