The Levitical priests — indeed the whole tribe of Levi — shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They are to eat the offerings made by fire to the LORD ; that is their inheritance.
Although they have no inheritance among their brothers , the LORD ... (is) their inheritance , as He promised
This shall be the priests’ ... share from the people ... who offer a sacrifice , whether a bull or a sheep : the priests are to be given the shoulder , the jowls , and the stomach.
You are to give the firstfruits of your grain , new wine , and oil , and the first wool sheared from your flock.
For the LORD your God has chosen and his sons out of all your tribes to stand and minister in (His) ... name for all time.
Now if a Levite moves from any town ... vvv vvv of residence throughout Israel and comes in all earnestness ... to the place - the LORD will choose ,
then he shall serve in the name of the LORD his God like all his fellow Levites who stand there before the LORD.
They shall eat equal portions ... , even though he has received (money) from the sale of his father’s estate.
When you enter ... the land that the LORD your God is giving do not ... imitate the detestable ways of the nations there.
Let no one be found who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire , practices divination ... (or) conjury , interprets omens , practices sorcery ,
casts spells ... , consults a medium or spiritist , or inquires of the dead.
- For whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD. And because of these detestable things , the LORD your God is driving out - (the nations) before you.
You must be blameless before the LORD your God.
Though these nations , which you will dispossess , - listen ... to conjurers ... and diviners , the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so
The LORD your God will raise up a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to him.
This is what - you asked of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly , when you said , “ Let us not - hear - the voice of the LORD our God - or see this great fire anymore , so that we will not die ! ”
Then the LORD said to me , “ They have spoken well. -
I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put My words in his mouth , and he will tell them - everything - I command him.
- And I will hold accountable ... anyone who does not listen to My words that (the prophet) speaks in My name.
But if any prophet - dares to speak a message in My name - that I have not commanded him to speak , (or) to speak in the name of other gods , that prophet must be put to death. ”
- You may ask in your heart , “ How can we recognize - a message that the LORD has not spoken ? ”
When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD and the message does not come to pass (or) come true , that is a message - the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.
