[1] The priests the Levites, even all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the offerings of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 made by fire, and His inheritance.
[2] And they shall have n inheritance among their brethren; 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 is their inheritance, as He hath spoken unto them.
[3] And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
[4] The first-fruits of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
[5] For 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, him and his sons for ever.
[6] And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 sha choose;
[7] Then he shall minister in the name of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, who stand there before 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.
[8] They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which is his du according to the fathers' houses.
[9] When thou art come into the land which 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
[10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one that useth divination, a soothsayer, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
[11] Or a charmer, or one that consulteth a ghost or a familiar spirit, or a necromancer.
[12] For whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; and because of these abominations 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God is driving them out from before thee.
[13] Thou shalt be whole-hearted with 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God.
[14] For these nations, that thou art dispossess, hearken unto soothsayers, and unto diviners; but as for thee, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
[15] A prophet will 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God raise up unto thee, from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
[16] According to all that thou didst desire o 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying: 'Let me not hear again the voice of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.'
[17] And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto me: 'They have well said that which they have spoken.
[18] I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
[19] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My words which he shall speak in My name, I will require it of him.
[20] But the prophet, that shall speak a word presumptuously in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.'
[21] And if thou say in thy heart: 'How shall we know the word which 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath not spoken?'
[22] When a prophet speaketh in the name of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath not spoken; the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him.
