Deuteronomy 18:1-14

1The priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881, [and] the whole tribeH7626 of LeviH3878, shall have no portionH2506 nor inheritanceH5159 with IsraelH3478: Jehovah's offeringsH801 by fireH801, and his inheritanceH5159 shall they eatH398,

2but they shall have no inheritanceH5159 among their brethren: Jehovah, he is their inheritanceH5159, as he hath saidH1696 unto them.

3And this shall beH1961 the priest's due from the peopleH5971, from them that sacrificeH2077 a sacrificeH2077, whether oxH7794, or sheepH7716: they shall giveH5414 unto the priestH3548 the shoulder, and the jawbones, and the maw.

4The firstfruits [also] of thy corn, of thy newH8492 wineH8492, and of thine oilH3323, and the firstfruits of the shearing of thy sheepH6629, shalt thou giveH5414 him;

5for Jehovah thy 1GodH430 hath chosenH977 him out of all thy tribesH7626, that he may standH5975 to serveH8334 in the nameH8034 of Jehovah, he and his sonsH1121 continually.

6And if the LeviteH3881 shall comeH935 from oneH259 of thy gatesH8179 out of all IsraelH3478, whereH834 he sojourneth, and shall comeH935 according to all the desireH5315 of his soulH5315 unto the placeH4725 which Jehovah will chooseH977,

7and shall serveH8334 in the nameH8034 of Jehovah his 2GodH430, as all his brethren the LevitesH3881 that standH5975 there before Jehovah,

8— they shall have like portionsH2506 to eatH398, besides that which he hath sold of his patrimony.

9When thou art comeH935 into the landH776 which Jehovah thy 3GodH430 giveth thee, thou shalt not learnH3925 to do according to the abominationsH8441 of those nationsH1471.

10There shall not be foundH4672 among you he that maketh his sonH1121 or his daughterH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, that useth divinationH7081, that useth auguries, or an enchanter, or a sorcererH3784,

11or a charmer, or oneH2266 that inquireth of a spirit of Python, or a soothsayer, or oneH2266 that consulteth the deadH4191.

12For every one that doeth these thingsH428 is an abominationH8441 to Jehovah, and because of these abominationsH8441 Jehovah thy 4GodH430 doth dispossessH3423 them from before thee.

13Thou shalt beH1961 perfectH8549 with Jehovah thy 5GodH430.

14For these nationsH1471, which thou shalt dispossessH3423, hearkened unto those that use auguries, and that use divination; but as for thee, Jehovah thy 6GodH430 hath not suffered thee [to do] soH3651.
