chapter 18
1
The
priests and Levites, and all that are of the same tribe, shall have no part nor
inheritance with the rest of Israel, because they shall eat the sacrifices of
the Lord, and his oblations,
2 And they shall receive nothing else. of the
possession of their brethren: for the Lord himself is their inheritance, as he
hath said to them.
3 This shall be the priest's due from the people, and
from them that offer victims: whether they sacrifice an ox, or a sheep, they
shall give to the priest the shoulder and the breast:
4 The firstfruits also of corn, of wine, and of oil,
and a part of the wool from the shearing of their sheep.
5 For the Lord thy God hath chosen him of all thy
tribes, to stand and to minister to the name of the Lord, him and his sons for
ever.
6 If a Levite go out of any one of the cities
throughout all Israel, in which he dwelleth, and have a longing mind to come to
the place which the Lord shall choose,
7 He shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as
all his brethren the Levites do, that shall stand at that time before the Lord.
8 He shall receive the same portion of food that the
rest do: besides that which is due to him in his own city, by succession from
his fathers.
9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy
God shall give thee, beware lest thou have a mind to imitate the abominations of
those nations.
10 Neither let there be found among you any one that
shall expiate his son or daughter, making them to pass through the fire: or
that consulteth soothsayers, or observeth dreams and omens, neither let there
be any wizard,
11 Nor charmer, nor any one that consulteth pythonic
spirits, or fortune tellers, or that seeketh the truth from the dead.
12 For the Lord abhorreth all these things, and for
these abominations he will destroy them at thy coming.
13 Thou shalt be perfect, and without spot before the
Lord thy God.
14 These nations, whose land thou shalt possess,
hearken to soothsayers and diviners: but thou art otherwise instructed by the
Lord thy God.
15 The Lord thy God will raise up to thee a PROPHET of
thy nation and of thy brethren like unto me: him thou shalt hear:
16 As thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb, when
the assembly was gathered together, and saidst: Let me not hear any more the
voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see any more this exceeding great
fire, lest I die.
17 And the Lord said to me: They have spoken all things
well.
18 m I will raise them up a prophet out of the midst of
their brethren like to thee: and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall
speak to them all that I shall command him.
19 And he that will not hear his words, which he shall
speak in my name, I will be the revenger.
20 But the prophet, who being corrupted with pride,
shall speak in my name things that I did not command him to say, or in the name
of strange gods, shall be slain.
21 And if in silent thought thou answer: How shall I
know the word that the Lord hath not spoken?
22 Thou shalt have this sign: Whatsoever that same
prophet foretelleth in the name of the Lord, and it cometh not to pass: that
thing the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath forged it by the pride of
his mind: and therefore thou shalt not fear him.
