Chapter 18
Deut Webster 18:1  The priests the Levites, [and] all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
Deut Webster 18:2  Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD [is] their inheritance, as he hath said to them.
Deut Webster 18:3  And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep; and they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
Deut Webster 18:4  The first-fruit [also] of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thy oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
Deut Webster 18:5  For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
Deut Webster 18:6  And if a Levite shall come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind to the place which the LORD shall choose;
Deut Webster 18:7  Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites [do], who stand there before the LORD.
Deut Webster 18:8  They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
Deut Webster 18:9  When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Deut Webster 18:10  There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
Deut Webster 18:11  Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
Deut Webster 18:12  For all that do these things [are] an abomination to the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
Deut Webster 18:14  For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened to observers of times, and to diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so [to do].
Deut Webster 18:15  The LORD thy God will raise up to thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like to me; to him ye shall hearken.
Deut Webster 18:16  According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I may not die.
Deut Webster 18:17  And the LORD said to me, They have well [spoken of that] which they have spoken.
Deut Webster 18:18  I will raise up to them a prophet from among their brethren, like thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.
Deut Webster 18:19  And it shall come to pass, [that] whoever will not hearken to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require [it] of him.
Deut Webster 18:20  But the prophet, who shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Deut Webster 18:21  And if thou shalt say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
Deut Webster 18:22  When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing doth not follow, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
