Deuteronomy 18
19→

1 The priests{H3548} the Levites{H3881}, and all the tribe{H7626} of Levi{H3878}, shall have no part{H2506} nor inheritance{H5159} with Israel{H3478}: they shall eat{H398}{(H8799)} the offerings{H801} of the LORD{H3068} made by fire{H801}, and his inheritance{H5159}.

2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance{H5159} among{H7130} their brethren{H251}: the LORD{H3068} is their inheritance{H5159}, as he hath said{H1696}{(H8765)} unto them.

3 And this shall be the priest's{H3548} due{H4941} from the people{H5971}, from them that offer{H2076}{(H8802)} a sacrifice{H2077}, whether it be ox{H7794} or sheep{H7716}; and they shall give{H5414}{(H8804)} unto the priest{H3548} the shoulder{H2220}, and the two cheeks{H3895}, and the maw{H6896}.

4 The firstfruit{H7225} also of thy corn{H1715}, of thy wine{H8492}, and of thine oil{H3323}, and the first{H7225} of the fleece{H1488} of thy sheep{H6629}, shalt thou give{H5414}{(H8799)} him.

5 For the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} hath chosen{H977}{(H8804)} him out of all thy tribes{H7626}, to stand{H5975}{(H8800)} to minister{H8334}{(H8763)} in the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068}, him and his sons{H1121} for ever{H3117}.

6 And if a Levite{H3881} come{H935}{(H8799)} from any{H259} of thy gates{H8179} out of all Israel{H3478}, where he sojourned{H1481}{(H8802)}, and come{H935}{(H8804)} with all the desire{H185} of his mind{H5315} unto the place{H4725} which the LORD{H3068} shall choose{H977}{(H8799)};

7 Then he shall minister{H8334}{(H8765)} in the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068} his God{H430}, as all his brethren{H251} the Levites{H3881} do, which stand{H5975}{(H8802)} there before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}.

8 They shall have like portions{H2506} to eat{H398}{(H8799)}, beside that which cometh of the sale{H4465} of his patrimony{H1}.

9 When thou art come{H935}{(H8802)} into the land{H776} which the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} giveth{H5414}{(H8802)} thee, thou shalt not learn{H3925}{(H8799)} to do{H6213}{(H8800)} after the abominations{H8441} of those nations{H1471}.

10 There shall not be found{H4672}{(H8735)} among you any one that maketh his son{H1121} or his daughter{H1323} to pass{H5674}{(H8688)} through the fire{H784}, or that useth{H7080}{(H8802)} divination{H7081}, or an observer of times{H6049}{(H8781)}, or an enchanter{H5172}{(H8764)}, or a witch{H3784}{(H8764)},

11 Or a charmer{H2266}{(H8802)}{H2267}, or a consulter{H7592}{(H8802)} with familiar spirits{H178}, or a wizard{H3049}, or a necromancer{H1875}{(H8802)}{H4191}{(H8801)}.

12 For all that do{H6213}{(H8802)} these things are an abomination{H8441} unto the LORD{H3068}: and because{H1558} of these abominations{H8441} the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} doth drive them out{H3423}{(H8688)} from before{H6440} thee.

13 Thou shalt be perfect{H8549} with the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}.

14 For these nations{H1471}, which thou shalt possess{H3423}{(H8802)}, hearkened{H8085}{(H8799)} unto observers of times{H6049}{(H8781)}, and unto diviners{H7080}{(H8802)}: but as for thee, the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} hath not suffered{H5414}{(H8804)} thee so to do.

15 The LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} will raise up{H6965}{(H8686)} unto thee a Prophet{H5030} from the midst{H7130} of thee, of thy brethren{H251}, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken{H8085}{(H8799)};

16 According to all that thou desiredst{H7592}{(H8804)} of the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430} in Horeb{H2722} in the day{H3117} of the assembly{H6951}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Let me not hear{H8085}{(H8800)} again{H3254}{(H8686)} the voice{H6963} of the LORD{H3068} my God{H430}, neither let me see{H7200}{(H8799)} this great{H1419} fire{H784} any more, that I die{H4191}{(H8799)} not.

17 And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto me, They have well{H3190}{(H8689)} spoken that which they have spoken{H1696}{(H8765)}.

18 I will raise them up{H6965}{(H8686)} a Prophet{H5030} from among{H7130} their brethren{H251}, like unto thee, and will put{H5414}{(H8804)} my words{H1697} in his mouth{H6310}; and he shall speak{H1696}{(H8765)} unto them all that I shall command{H6680}{(H8762)} him.

19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever{H376} will not hearken{H8085}{(H8799)} unto my words{H1697} which he shall speak{H1696}{(H8762)} in my name{H8034}, I will require{H1875}{(H8799)} it of him.

20 But the prophet{H5030}, which shall presume{H2102}{(H8686)} to speak{H1696}{(H8763)} a word{H1697} in my name{H8034}, which I have not commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} him to speak{H1696}{(H8763)}, or that shall speak{H1696}{(H8762)} in the name{H8034} of other{H312} gods{H430}, even that prophet{H5030} shall die{H4191}{(H8804)}.

21 And if thou say{H559}{(H8799)} in thine heart{H3824}, How shall we know{H3045}{(H8799)} the word{H1697} which the LORD{H3068} hath not spoken{H1696}{(H8765)}?

22 When a prophet{H5030} speaketh{H1696}{(H8762)} in the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068}, if the thing{H1697} follow not, nor come to pass{H935}{(H8799)}, that is the thing{H1697} which the LORD{H3068} hath not spoken{H1696}{(H8765)}, but the prophet{H5030} hath spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} it presumptuously{H2087}: thou shalt not be afraid{H1481}{(H8799)} of him.
