ABP - Deuteronomy - 18

18:1  There will not be to the priests, to the Levites, the entire tribe of Levi, a portion nor a lot with Israel. The yield offerings of the lord are their lot -- they shall eat them.

18:2  [4a lot 1And 2there will not 3be] to him among his brethren; the lord himself is his lot, in so far as he said to him.

18:3  And this is the distinguishing thing of the priests -- the things from the people, from the ones sacrificing the sacrifices, if both a calf, or if also a sheep -- that you shall give the shoulder to the priest, and the jawbones, and the large intestine,

18:4  and the first-fruits of your grain, and of your wine, and of your olive oil; and the first-fruit of the shearing of your sheep you shall give to him:

18:5  for [3chose him 1the lord 2your God] from out of all your tribes, to stand before the lord God, to officiate in the name of the lord, he and his sons all the days.

18:6  And if [3should come 1the 2Levite] from one of your cities of all the sons of Israel, of which he himself sojourns, that [2desires 1his soul], into the place which ever the lord should choose;

18:7  then he shall officiate in the name of the lord his God, as all his brethren the Levites, the ones standing there before the lord.

18:8  [2a portion 3having been portioned 1He shall eat], besides the sale of the things of his family.

18:9  And whenever you should enter into the land which the lord your God gives to you, you shall not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.

18:10  There shall not be found in you one purging his son or his daughter in fire, or one using oracles for divination, or one prognosticating and foretelling,

18:11  an administer of potions, one charming an enchantment, one who delivers oracles, and an observer of signs asking of the dead.

18:12  [5is 1For 6an abomination 7to the lord 8your God 2every one 3doing 4these things]. For because of these abominations the lord your God shall utterly destroy them from your face.

18:13  You shall be perfect before the lord your God.

18:14  For these nations which you inherit them, these [2prognostications 3and 4divinations 1shall hear]; but to you [3did not 4so 5give 1the lord 2your God].

18:15  A prophet from out of your brethren, as me, [3shall raise up 4to you 1the lord 2your God]; him you shall hear.

18:16  According to all as much as you asked of the lord your God in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, saying, We shall not add to hear the voice of the lord your God, and [3fire 1this 2great] we shall not see any longer, nor shall we die.

18:17  And the lord said to me, Rightly all as much as they spoke.

18:18  [2a prophet 1I shall raise up] to them from amidst their brethren, as you, and I shall put my word in his mouth; and he shall speak to them in so far as I give charge to him.

18:19  And the man who ever should not hear his words, as many as [3should 4speak 1the 2prophet] in my name, I shall exact punishment from him.

18:20  Except the prophet, who ever should be impious to speak a word in my name, which I did not assign to him to speak, and who ever should speak in the name of other gods, [2shall die 1that prophet].

18:21  But if you should say in your heart, How shall we know the word which [2spoke not 1the lord]?

18:22  As many things as [3should speak 1the 2prophet] in the name of the lord, and [3should not 4take place 1the 2thing], and [3should not 4come to pass 1this 2thing] which [2spoke not 1the lord]; through impiety [3spoke 1the 2prophet]; you shall not receive from him.
