Deuteronomy 18:1-14

1The priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, and all the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878, shall have no partH2506 nor inheritanceH5159 with IsraelH3478: they shall eatH398 the offeringsH801 of YhwhH3068 made by fireH801, and his inheritanceH5159. 2Therefore shall they have no inheritanceH5159 amongH7130 their brethrenH251: YhwhH3068 is their inheritanceH5159, as he hath saidH1696 unto them.

3And this shall be the priest’sH3548 dueH4941 from the peopleH5971, from them that offerH2076 a sacrificeH2077, whether it be oxH7794 or sheepH7716; and they shall giveH5414 unto the priestH3548 the shoulderH2220, and the two cheeksH3895, and the mawH6896. 4The firstfruitH7225 also of thy grainH1715, of thy wineH8492, and of thine oilH3323, and the firstH7225 of the fleeceH1488 of thy sheepH6629, shalt thou giveH5414 him. 5For YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 him out of all thy tribesH7626, to standH5975 to ministerH8334 in the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068, him and his sonsH1121 for everH3117.

6And if a LeviteH3881 comeH935 from anyH259 of thy gatesH8179 out of all IsraelH3478, where he sojournedH1481, and comeH935 with all the desireH185 of his mindH5315 unto the placeH4725 which YhwhH3068 shall chooseH977; 7Then he shall ministerH8334 in the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 his GodH430, as all his brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 do, which standH5975 there beforeH6440 YhwhH3068. 8They shall have like portionsH2506 to eatH398, beside that which cometh of the saleH4465 of his patrimonyH1.1

9When thou art comeH935 into the landH776 which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, thou shalt not learnH3925 to doH6213 after the abominationsH8441 of those nationsH1471. 10There shall not be foundH4672 among you any one that maketh his sonH1121 or his daughterH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, or that usethH7080 divinationH7081, or an observer of timesH6049, or an enchanterH5172, or a witchH3784, 11Or a charmerH2267H2266, or a consulterH7592 with familiar spiritsH178, or a wizardH3049, or a necromancerH4191H1875. 12For all that doH6213 these things are an abominationH8441 unto YhwhH3068: and becauseH1558 of these abominationsH8441 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 doth drive them outH3423 from beforeH6440 thee. 13Thou shalt be perfectH8549 with YhwhH3068 thy GodH430.2 14For these nationsH1471, which thou shalt possessH3423, hearkenedH8085 unto observers of timesH6049, and unto divinersH7080: but as for thee, YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath not sufferedH5414 thee so to do.3
