These Are the Words (Deuteronomy) 18

 The priests the Children of Joined To (Levites), and all the tribe of Joined To (Levi), shall have no part nor inheritance with God Prevails (Israel): they shall eat the offerings of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) made by fire, and His inheritance.

 2 Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) is their inheritance, as He has said to them.

 3 This shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the stomach.

 4 The first fruits also of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, shall you give him.

5 For the I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), him and his sons forever.

 6 If a Child of Joined To (Levite) comes from any of your gates out of all God Prevails (Israel), where he sojourned and comes with all the desire of his mind to the place which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) shall choose;

 7 Then he shall minister in the name of (the LORD, Yehovah) his God (‘Elohiym), as all his brethren the Children of Joined To (Levites) do, which stand there before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

 8 They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which comes of the sale of his patrimony.

 9 When you have come into the land which the I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

 10 There shall not be found among you anyone that makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

 12 For all that do these things are an abomination to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): and because of these abominations the I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) drives them out from before you.

 13 You shall be perfect with the I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym).

 14 For these nations, which you shall possess, listened to observers of times, and to diviners: but as for you, the I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) has not permitted you so to do.

 15 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) will raise up to you a Prophet from the midst of you, of your brethren, like to me; to Him, you shall listen;

 16 According to all that you desire of the I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) in Desert (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 anymore, that we die not.

 17 Then I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to me: They have spoken well in that which they have spoken.

 18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like you, and will put my words in His mouth; and He shall speak to them all that I shall command Him.

 19 It shall come to pass, that whosoever will not listen to my words which He shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him.

 20 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.

 21 If you say in your heart: How shall we know the word which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has not spoken?

 22 When a prophet speaks in the name of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), if the thing follows not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken it presumptuously: you shall not be afraid of him.
