Book 05 : DEUTERONOMY - Chapter 018
018:001
Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren:
the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them
018:002
And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them
that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they
shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks,
and the maw
018:003
The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine
oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give
him
018:004
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
018:005
And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel,
where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind
unto the place which the LORD shall choose
018:006
Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all
his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the
LORD
018:007
They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh
of the sale of his patrimony
018:008
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
018:009
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
018:010
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a
wizard, or a necromancer
018:011
For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD:
and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive
them out from before thee
018:012
Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God
018:013
For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto
observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the
LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do
018:014
The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the
midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye
shall hearken
018:015
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 die not
018:016
And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which
they have spoken
018:017
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like
unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall
speak unto them all that I shall command him
018:018
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
018:019
But the prophet, which 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
018:020
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word
which the LORD hath not spoken
018:021
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing
follow not, 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
