18:1 The priests 3548 the Levites 3881, [and] all the tribe 7626 of Levi 3878, shall have no part 2506 nor inheritance 5159 with Israel 3478: they shall eat 398 8799 the offerings 801 0 of the LORD 3068 made by fire 801, and his inheritance 5159.

18:2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance 5159 among 7130 their brethren 251: the LORD 3068 [is] their inheritance 5159, as he hath said 1696 8765 unto them.

18:3 And this shall be the priest's 3548 due 4941 from the people 5971, from them that offer 2076 8802 a sacrifice 2077, whether [it be] ox 7794 or sheep 7716; and they shall give 5414 8804 unto the priest 3548 the shoulder 2220, and the two cheeks 3895, and the maw 6896.

18:4 The firstfruit 7225 [also] of thy corn 1715, of thy wine 8492, and of thine oil 3323, and the first 7225 of the fleece 1488 of thy sheep 6629, shalt thou give 5414 8799 him.

18:5 For the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath chosen 977 8804 him out of all thy tribes 7626, to stand 5975 8800 to minister 8334 8763 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, him and his sons 1121 for ever 3117.

18:6 And if a Levite 3881 come 935 8799 from any 259 of thy gates 8179 out of all Israel 3478, where he sojourned 1481 8802, and come 935 8804 with all the desire 185 of his mind 5315 unto the place 4725 which the LORD 3068 shall choose 977 8799;

18:7 Then he shall minister 8334 8765 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 his God 430, as all his brethren 251 the Levites 3881 [do], which stand 5975 8802 there before 6440 the LORD 3068.

18:8 They shall have like portions 2506 to eat 398 8799, beside that which cometh of the sale 4465 of his patrimony 1.(that…: Heb. his sale by the fathers)

18:9 When thou art come 935 8802 into the land 776 which the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 8802 thee, thou shalt not learn 3925 8799 to do 6213 8800 after the abominations 8441 of those nations 1471.

18:10 There shall not be found 4672 8735 among you [any one] that maketh his son 1121 or his daughter 1323 to pass 5674 8688 through the fire 784, [or] that useth 7080 8802 divination 7081, [or] an observer of times 6049 8781, or an enchanter 5172 8764, or a witch 3784 8764,

18:11 Or a charmer 2266 8802 2267, or a consulter 7592 8802 with familiar spirits 178, or a wizard 3049, or a necromancer 1875 8802 4191 8801.

18:12 For all that do 6213 8802 these things [are] an abomination 8441 unto the LORD 3068: and because 1558 of these abominations 8441 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 doth drive them out 3423 8688 from before 6440 thee.

18:13 Thou shalt be perfect 8549 with the LORD 3068 thy God 430.(perfect: or, upright, or, sincere)

18:14 For these nations 1471, which thou shalt possess 3423 8802, hearkened 8085 8799 unto observers of times 6049 8781, and unto diviners 7080 8802: but as for thee, the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath not suffered 5414 8804 thee so [to do].(possess: or, inherit)

18:15 The LORD 3068 thy God 430 will raise up 6965 8686 unto thee a Prophet 5030 from the midst 7130 of thee, of thy brethren 251, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken 8085 8799;

18:16 According to all that thou desiredst 7592 8804 of the LORD 3068 thy God 430 in Horeb 2722 in the day 3117 of the assembly 6951, saying 559 8800, Let me not hear 8085 8800 again 3254 8686 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 my God 430, neither let me see 7200 8799 this great 1419 fire 784 any more, that I die 4191 8799 not.

18:17 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto me, They have well 3190 8689 [spoken that] which they have spoken 1696 8765.

18:18 I will raise them up 6965 8686 a Prophet 5030 from among 7130 their brethren 251, like unto thee, and will put 5414 8804 my words 1697 in his mouth 6310; and he shall speak 1696 8765 unto them all that I shall command 6680 8762 him.

18:19 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever 376 will not hearken 8085 8799 unto my words 1697 which he shall speak 1696 8762 in my name 8034, I will require 1875 8799 [it] of him.

18:20 But the prophet 5030, which shall presume 2102 8686 to speak 1696 8763 a word 1697 in my name 8034, which I have not commanded 6680 8765 him to speak 1696 8763, or that shall speak 1696 8762 in the name 8034 of other 312 gods 430, even that prophet 5030 shall die 4191 8804.

18:21 And if thou say 559 8799 in thine heart 3824, How shall we know 3045 8799 the word 1697 which the LORD 3068 hath not spoken 1696 8765?

18:22 When a prophet 5030 speaketh 1696 8762 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, if the thing 1697 follow not, nor come to pass 935 8799, that [is] the thing 1697 which the LORD 3068 hath not spoken 1696 8765, [but] the prophet 5030 hath spoken 1696 8765 it presumptuously 2087: thou shalt not be afraid 1481 8799 of him.
