The priests and the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel. They shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire and his portion.
2 And an inheritance not it will belong to him in [the] midst countrymen his Yahweh he [is] inheritance his just as he spoke to him.
They shall have no inheritance among their brothers. The LORD is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
3 And this it will be [the] right of the priests from with the people from with [those who] sacrifice the sacrifice whether ox or sheep and he will give to the priest the arm and the two cheeks and the stomach.
This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts.
4 [the] first of Grain your new wine your and fresh oil your and [the] first of [the] fleece of sheep your you will give to him.
You shall give him the first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep.
5 For him he has chosen Yahweh God your from all tribes your to stand to serve in [the] name of Yahweh he and descendants his all the days.
For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in the LORD’s name, him and his sons forever.
6 And if he will come Levite from one of gates your from all Israel where he [was] sojourning there and he will come in all [the] desire of self his to the place which he will choose Yahweh.
If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which the LORD shall choose,
7 And he will serve in [the] name of Yahweh God his like all relatives his the Levites who stand there before Yahweh.
then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before the LORD.
8 A portion like a portion they will eat besides sales his on the fathers.
They shall have like portions to eat, in addition to that which comes from the sale of his family possessions.
9 If you [have] gone into the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you not you will learn to do according to [the] abominations of the nations those.
When you have come into the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the abominations of those nations.
10 Not he will be found among you [one who] makes pass son his and daughter his in the fire [one who] divines divinations a soothsayer and an augurer and a sorcerer.
There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who tells fortunes, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,
11 And [one who] casts a spell and [one who] consults a necromancer and a familiar spirit and [one who] enquires to the dead.
or a charmer, or someone who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 That [is] [the] abomination of Yahweh every [one who] does these [things] and on account of the abominations these Yahweh God your [is] about to dispossess them from before you.
For whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD. Because of these abominations, the LORD your God drives them out from before you.
13 Blameless you will be with Yahweh God your.
You shall be blameless with the LORD your God.
14 For - the nations these which you [are] about to dispossess them to soothsayers and to diviners they listen and you not thus he has permitted to you Yahweh God your.
For these nations that you shall dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery and to diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you so to do.
15 A prophet from midst your one of countrymen your like me he will raise up for you Yahweh God your to him you will listen!
The LORD your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him.
16 According to all that you asked from with Yahweh God your at Horeb on [the] day of the assembly saying not me repeat to hear [the] voice of Yahweh God my and the fire great this not let me see again and not I will die.
This is according to all that you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again the LORD my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”
17 And he said Yahweh to me they have done well [that] which they have spoken.
The LORD said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken.
18 A prophet I will raise up for them from [the] midst of countrymen their like you and I will put words my in mouth his and he will speak to them all that I will command him.
I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
19 And it will be the person who not he will listen to words my which he will speak in name my I I will require from with him.
It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
20 Nevertheless the prophet who he will act presumptuously by speaking a word in name my [that] which not I commanded him to speak and who he will speak in [the] name of gods other and he will die the prophet him.
But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”
21 And if you will say in heart your how? will we know the word which not he has spoken it Yahweh.
You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?”
22 That he will speak the prophet in [the] name of Yahweh and not it will happen the thing and not it will come that [is] the word which not he has spoken it Yahweh with presumption he has spoken it the prophet not you will be afraid from him.
When a prophet speaks in the LORD’s name, if the thing does not follow, nor happen, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.
