KJV

1  The priests³⁵⁴⁸ the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the tribe⁷⁶²⁶ of Levi,³⁸⁷⁸ shall have¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ part²⁵⁰⁶ nor inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ they shall eat³⁹⁸ the offerings of the LORD made by fire,^{801 3068} and his inheritance.⁵¹⁵⁹

2  Therefore shall they have¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ among⁷¹³⁰ their brethren:²⁵¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is their inheritance,⁵¹⁵⁹ as⁸³⁴ he hath said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto them.

3  And this²⁰⁸⁸ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ the priest's³⁵⁴⁸ due⁴⁹⁴¹ from^{4480 854} the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ from^{4480 854} them that offer²⁰⁷⁶ a sacrifice,²⁰⁷⁷ whether⁵¹⁸ it be ox⁷⁷⁹⁴ or⁵¹⁸ sheep;⁷⁷¹⁶ and they shall give⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the priest³⁵⁴⁸ the shoulder,²²²⁰ and the two cheeks,³⁸⁹⁵ and the maw.⁶⁸⁹⁶

4  The firstfruit⁷²²⁵ also of thy corn,¹⁷¹⁵ of thy wine,⁸⁴⁹² and of thine oil,³³²³ and the first⁷²²⁵ of the fleece¹⁴⁸⁸ of thy sheep,⁶⁶²⁹ shalt thou give⁵⁴¹⁴ him.

5  For³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ hath chosen⁹⁷⁷ him out of all^{4480 3605} thy tribes,⁷⁶²⁶ to stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ to minister⁸³³⁴ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ him¹⁹³¹ and his sons¹¹²¹ forever.^{3605 3117}

6  And if³⁵⁸⁸ a Levite³⁸⁸¹ come⁹³⁵ from any^{4480 259} of thy gates⁸¹⁷⁹ out of all^{4480 3605} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ where^{834 8033} he¹⁹³¹ sojourned,¹⁴⁸¹ and come⁹³⁵ with all³⁶⁰⁵ the desire¹⁸⁵ of his mind⁵³¹⁵ unto⁴¹³ the place⁴⁷²⁵ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall choose;⁹⁷⁷

7  Then he shall minister⁸³³⁴ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ his God,⁴³⁰ as all³⁶⁰⁵ his brethren²⁵¹ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ do, which stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ there⁸⁰³³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

8  They shall have like portions^{2506 2506} to eat,³⁹⁸ beside⁹⁰⁵ that which cometh of the sale^{4480 4465} of⁵⁹²¹ his patrimony.¹

9  When³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art come⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the land⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ giveth⁵⁴¹⁴ thee, thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ learn³⁹²⁵ to do⁶²¹³ after the abominations⁸⁴⁴¹ of those¹⁹⁹² nations.¹⁴⁷¹

10  There shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be found⁴⁶⁷² among you any one that maketh his son¹¹²¹ or his daughter¹³²³ to pass through⁵⁶⁷⁴ the fire,⁷⁸⁴ or that useth⁷⁰⁸⁰ divination,⁷⁰⁸¹ or an observer of times,⁶⁰⁴⁹ or an enchanter,⁵¹⁷² or a witch,³⁷⁸⁴

11  Or a charmer,^{2266 2267} or a consulter⁷⁵⁹² with familiar spirits,¹⁷⁸ or a wizard,³⁰⁴⁹ or a necromancer.^{1875 413 4191}

12  For³⁵⁸⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ that do⁶²¹³ these things⁴²⁸ are an abomination⁸⁴⁴¹ unto the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and because¹⁵⁵⁸ of these⁴²⁸ abominations⁸⁴⁴¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ doth drive them out^{3423 853} from before^{4480 6440} thee.

13  Thou shalt be¹⁹⁶¹ perfect⁸⁵⁴⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God.⁴³⁰

14  For³⁵⁸⁸ these⁴²⁸ nations,¹⁴⁷¹ which⁸³⁴ thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt possess,^{3423 853} hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ observers of times,⁶⁰⁴⁹ and unto⁴¹³ diviners:⁷⁰⁸⁰ but as for thee,⁸⁵⁹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ suffered⁵⁴¹⁴ thee so³⁶⁵¹ to do.

15  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ will raise up⁶⁹⁶⁵ unto thee a Prophet⁵⁰³⁰ from the midst^{4480 7130} of thee, of thy brethren,^{4480 251} like unto me;³⁶⁴⁴ unto⁴¹³ him ye shall hearken;⁸⁰⁸⁵

16  According to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ thou desiredst⁷⁵⁹² of^{4480 5973} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ in Horeb²⁷²² in the day³¹¹⁷ of the assembly,⁶⁹⁵¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Let me not³⁸⁰⁸ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ again^{3254 853} the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ my God,⁴³⁰ neither³⁸⁰⁸ let me see⁷²⁰⁰ this²⁰⁶³ great¹⁴¹⁹ fire⁷⁸⁴ any more,⁵⁷⁵⁰ that I die⁴¹⁹¹ not.³⁸⁰⁸

17  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, They have well³¹⁹⁰ spoken that which⁸³⁴ they have spoken.¹⁶⁹⁶

18  I will raise them up⁶⁹⁶⁵ a Prophet⁵⁰³⁰ from among^{4480 7130} their brethren,²⁵¹ like unto thee,³⁶⁴⁴ and will put⁵⁴¹⁴ my words¹⁶⁹⁷ in his mouth;⁶³¹⁰ and he shall speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ them ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ I shall command⁶⁶⁸⁰ him.

19  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that whosoever^{376 834} will not³⁸⁰⁸ hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ my words¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ he shall speak¹⁶⁹⁶ in my name,⁸⁰³⁴ I⁵⁹⁵ will require¹⁸⁷⁵ it of^{4480 5973} him.

20  But³⁸⁹ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ which⁸³⁴ shall presume²¹⁰² to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ a word¹⁶⁹⁷ in my name,^{8034 853} which⁸³⁴ I have not³⁸⁰⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ him to speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ or that⁸³⁴ shall speak¹⁶⁹⁶ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of other³¹² gods,⁴³⁰ even that¹⁹³¹ prophet⁵⁰³⁰ shall die.⁴¹⁹¹

21  And if³⁵⁸⁸ thou say⁵⁵⁹ in thine heart,³⁸²⁴ How³⁴⁹ shall we know^{3045 853} the word¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ spoken?¹⁶⁹⁶

22  When⁸³⁴ a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ speaketh¹⁶⁹⁶ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ if the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ follow¹⁹⁶¹ not,³⁸⁰⁸ nor³⁸⁰⁸ come to pass,⁹³⁵ that¹⁹³¹ is the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ spoken,¹⁶⁹⁶ but the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ hath spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ it presumptuously:²⁰⁸⁷ thou shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ be afraid¹⁴⁸¹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ him.

1 οὐκ ἔσται τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν τοῖς Λευίταις ὅλῃ φυλῇ Λευι μερὶς οὐδὲ κλῆρος μετὰ Ισραηλ καρπώματα κυρίου ὁ κλῆρος αὐτῶν φάγονται αὐτά

2 κλῆρος δὲ οὐκ ἔσται αὐτοῖς ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν κύριος αὐτὸς κλῆρος αὐτοῦ καθότι εἶπεν αὐτῷ

3 καὶ αὕτη ἡ κρίσις τῶν ἱερέων τὰ παρὰ τοῦ λαοῦ παρὰ τῶν θυόντων τὰ θύματα ἐάν τε μόσχον ἐάν τε πρόβατον καὶ δώσει τῷ ἱερεῖ τὸν βραχίονα καὶ τὰ σιαγόνια καὶ τὸ ἔνυστρον

4 καὶ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τοῦ σίτου σου καὶ τοῦ οἴνου σου καὶ τοῦ ἐλαίου σου καὶ τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τῶν κουρῶν τῶν προβάτων σου δώσεις αὐτῷ

5 ὅτι αὐτὸν ἐξελέξατο κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἐκ πασῶν τῶν φυλῶν σου παρεστάναι ἔναντι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου λειτουργεῖν καὶ εὐλογεῖν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ

6 ἐὰν δὲ παραγένηται ὁ Λευίτης ἐκ μιᾶς τῶν πόλεων ὑμῶν ἐκ πάντων τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ οὗ αὐτὸς παροικεῖ καθότι ἐπιθυμεῖ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν ἂν ἐκλέξηται κύριος

7 καὶ λειτουργήσει τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ πάντες οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ οἱ Λευῖται οἱ παρεστηκότες ἐκεῖ ἔναντι κυρίου

8 μερίδα μεμερισμένην φάγεται πλὴν τῆς πράσεως τῆς κατὰ πατριάν

9 ἐὰν δὲ εἰσέλθῃς εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι οὐ μαθήσῃ ποιεῖν κατὰ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐκείνων

10 οὐχ εὑρεθήσεται ἐν σοὶ περικαθαίρων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἢ τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ ἐν πυρί μαντευόμενος μαντείαν κληδονιζόμενος καὶ οἰωνιζόμενος φαρμακός

11 ἐπαείδων ἐπαοιδήν ἐγγαστρίμυθος καὶ τερατοσκόπος ἐπερωτῶν τοὺς νεκρούς

12 ἔστιν γὰρ βδέλυγμα κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου πᾶς ποιῶν ταῦτα ἕνεκεν γὰρ τῶν βδελυγμάτων τούτων κύριος ἐξολεθρεύσει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ σοῦ

13 τέλειος ἔσῃ ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου

14 τὰ γὰρ ἔθνη ταῦτα οὓς σὺ κατακληρονομεῖς αὐτούς οὗτοι κληδόνων καὶ μαντειῶν ἀκούσονται σοὶ δὲ οὐχ οὕτως ἔδωκεν κύριος ὁ θεός σου

15 προφήτην ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν σου ὡς ἐμὲ ἀναστήσει σοι κύριος ὁ θεός σου αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε

16 κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ᾐτήσω παρὰ κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου ἐν Χωρηβ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῆς ἐκκλησίας λέγοντες οὐ προσθήσομεν ἀκοῦσαι τὴν φωνὴν κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ τὸ πῦρ τὸ μέγα τοῦτο οὐκ ὀψόμεθα ἔτι οὐδὲ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν

17 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με ὀρθῶς πάντα ὅσα ἐλάλησαν

18 προφήτην ἀναστήσω αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν ὥσπερ σὲ καὶ δώσω τὸ ῥῆμά μου ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ καὶ λαλήσει αὐτοῖς καθότι ἂν ἐντείλωμαι αὐτῷ

19 καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ ὅσα ἐὰν λαλήσῃ ὁ προφήτης ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου ἐγὼ ἐκδικήσω ἐξ αὐτοῦ

20 πλὴν ὁ προφήτης ὃς ἂν ἀσεβήσῃ λαλῆσαι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου ῥῆμα ὃ οὐ προσέταξα λαλῆσαι καὶ ὃς ἂν λαλήσῃ ἐπ᾽ ὀνόματι θεῶν ἑτέρων ἀποθανεῖται ὁ προφήτης ἐκεῖνος

21 ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου πῶς γνωσόμεθα τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ οὐκ ἐλάλησεν κύριος

22 ὅσα ἐὰν λαλήσῃ ὁ προφήτης ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου καὶ μὴ γένηται τὸ ῥῆμα καὶ μὴ συμβῇ τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ οὐκ ἐλάλησεν κύριος ἐν ἀσεβείᾳ ἐλάλησεν ὁ προφήτης ἐκεῖνος οὐκ ἀφέξεσθε αὐτοῦ

1 Non habebunt sacerdotes et Levitæ, et omnes qui de eadem tribu sunt, partem et hæreditatem cum reliquo Israël, quia sacrificia Domini, et oblationes ejus comedent,

2 et nihil aliud accipient de possessione fratrum suorum: Dominus enim ipse est hæreditas eorum, sicut locutus est illis.

3 Hoc erit judicium sacerdotum a populo, et ab his qui offerunt victimas: sive bovem, sive ovem immolaverint, dabunt sacerdoti armum ac ventriculum:

4 primitias frumenti, vini, et olei, et lanarum partem ex ovium tonsione.

5 Ipsum enim elegit Dominus Deus tuus de cunctis tribubus tuis, ut stet, et ministret nomini Domini, ipse, et filii ejus in sempiternum.

6 Si exierit Levites ex una urbium tuarum ex omni Israël in qua habitat, et voluerit venire, desiderans locum quem elegerit Dominus,

7 ministrabit in nomine Domini Dei sui, sicut omnes fratres ejus Levitæ, qui stabunt eo tempore coram Domino.

8 Partem ciborum eamdem accipiet, quam et ceteri: excepto eo, quod in urbe sua ex paterna ei successione debetur.

9 Quando ingressus fueris terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, cave ne imitari velis abominationes illarum gentium.

10 Nec inveniatur in te qui lustret filium suum, aut filiam, ducens per ignem: aut qui ariolos sciscitetur, et observet somnia atque auguria, nec sit maleficus,

11 nec incantator, nec qui pythones consulat, nec divinos, aut quærat a mortuis veritatem.

12 Omnia enim hæc abominatur Dominus, et propter istiusmodi scelera delebit eos in introitu tuo.

13 Perfectus eris, et absque macula cum Domino Deo tuo.

14 Gentes istæ, quarum possidebis terram, augures et divinos audiunt: tu autem a Domino Deo tuo aliter institutus es.

15 Prophetam de gente tua et de fratribus tuis, sicut me, suscitabit tibi Dominus Deus tuus: ipsum audies,

16 ut petisti a Domino Deo tuo in Horeb, quando concio congregata est, atque dixisti: Ultra non audiam vocem Domini Dei mei, et ignem hunc maximum amplius non videbo, ne moriar.

17 Et ait Dominus mihi: Bene omnia sunt locuti.

18 Prophetam suscitabo eis de medio fratrum suorum similem tui: et ponam verba mea in ore ejus, loqueturque ad eos omnia quæ præcepero illi.

19 Qui autem verba ejus, quæ loquetur in nomine meo, audire noluerit, ego ultor existam.

20 Propheta autem qui arrogantia depravatus voluerit loqui in nomine meo, quæ ego non præcepi illi ut diceret, aut ex nomine alienorum deorum, interficietur.

21 Quod si tacita cogitatione responderis: Quomodo possum intelligere verbum, quod Dominus non est locutus?

22 hoc habebis signum: quod in nomine Domini propheta ille prædixerit, et non evenerit: hoc Dominus non est locutus, sed per tumorem animi sui propheta confinxit: et idcirco non timebis eum.
