18:1 "The
Levitical
priests,
all
the
tribe
of
Levi,
shall
have
no
portion
or
inheritance
with
Israel.
They
shall
eat
the
LORD's
food
offerings
as
their
inheritance.
18:2 They
shall
have
no
inheritance
among
their
brothers;
the
LORD
is
their
inheritance,
as
he
promised
them.
18:3 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.
18:4 The
firstfruits
of
your
grain,
of
your
wine
and
of
your
oil,
and
the
first
fleece
of
your
sheep,
you
shall
give
him.
18:5 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.
18:6 "And
if
a
Levite
comes
from
any
of
your
towns
out
of
all
Israel,
where
he
lives--and
he
may
come
when
he
desires--to
the
place
that
the
LORD
will
choose,
18:7 and
ministers
in
the
name
of
the
LORD
his
God,
like
all
his
fellow
Levites
who
stand
to
minister
there
before
the
LORD,
18:8 then
he
may
have
equal
portions
to
eat,
besides
what
he
receives
from
the
sale
of
his
patrimony.
18:9 "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.
18:10 There
shall
not
be
found
among
you
anyone
who
burns
his
son
or
his
daughter
as
an
offering,
anyone
who
practices
divination
or
tells
fortunes
or
interprets
omens,
or
a
sorcerer
18:11 or
a
charmer
or
a
medium
or
a
necromancer
or
one
who
inquires
of
the
dead,
18:12 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.
18:13 You
shall
be
blameless
before
the
LORD
your
God,
18:14 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.
18:15 "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--
18:16 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.'
18:17 And
the
LORD
said
to
me,
'They
are
right
in
what
they
have
spoken.
18:18 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.
18:19 And
whoever
will
not
listen
to
my
words
that
he
shall
speak
in
my
name,
I
myself
will
require
it
of
him.
18:20 But
the
prophet
who
presumes
to
speak
a
word
in
my
name
that
I
have
not
commanded
him
to
speak,
or
who
speaks
in
the
name
of
other
gods,
that
same
prophet
shall
die.'
18:21 And
if
you
say
in
your
heart,
'How
may
we
know
the
word
that
the
LORD
has
not
spoken'--
18:22 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.
