Provision for Priests and Levites
The priests, the Levites, [and] the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: Jehovah's offerings by fire, and his inheritance shall they eat,
The priests, the Levites, [and] the whole tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: Jehovah's offerings by fire, and his inheritance shall they eat,
They shall have no inheritance among their brothers; the Lord is their inheritance, as he promised them.
but they shall have no inheritance among their brethren: Jehovah, he is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
And this shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those offering a sacrifice, whether an ox or a sheep: they shall give to the priest the shoulder and the two cheeks and the stomach.
And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that sacrifice a sacrifice, whether ox, or sheep: they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the jawbones, and the maw.
The firstfruits of your grain, of your wine and of your oil, and the first fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.
The firstfruits [also] of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstfruits of the shearing of thy sheep, shalt thou give him;
For the Lord your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand and minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons for all time.
for Jehovah thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, that he may stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, he and his sons continually.
And if the Levite shall come from one of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and shall come according to all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah will choose,
and ministers in the name of the Lord his God, like all his fellow Levites who stand to minister there before the Lord,
and shall serve in the name of Jehovah his God, as all his brethren the Levites that stand there before Jehovah,
they shall have like portions to eat, besides that which he hath sold of his patrimony.
Abominable Practices
“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations.
“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations.
Sorcery Forbidden
When thou art come into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
When thou art come into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
There shall not be found among you he that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, that useth divination, that useth auguries, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead,
or a charmer, or one that inquireth of a spirit of Python, or a soothsayer, or one that consulteth the dead.
for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you.
For every one that doeth these things is an abomination to Jehovah, and because of these abominations Jehovah thy God doth dispossess them from before thee.
for these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do this.
For these nations, which thou shalt dispossess, hearkened unto those that use auguries, and that use divination; but as for thee, Jehovah thy God hath not suffered thee [to do] so.
A New Prophet like Moses
“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers — it is to him you shall listen —
“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers — it is to him you shall listen —
A New Prophet
Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him shall ye hearken;
Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him shall ye hearken;
just as you desired of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’
according to all that thou desiredst of Jehovah thy God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Jehovah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
And the Lord said to me, ‘They are right in what they have spoken.
And Jehovah said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.
A prophet will I raise up unto them from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.
And it shall come to pass that the man who hearkeneth not unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
But the prophet who shall presume to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.
And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’ —
And if thou say in thy heart, How shall we know the word that Jehovah hath not spoken?
when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.
When a prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing followeth not, nor cometh to pass, that is the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: be not afraid of him.
