They will not have—the kohanim, the Levites, the entire tribe of Levi—a portion or an inheritance with Yisroel; Adonoy’s fire-offerings [sacrifices] and His inheritance will they eat.

But he will have no territory among his brothers; [the gifts that] Adonoy [has given him] is his territory, as He said to him.

And this will be the stipend of the kohanim from the people from the slaughterers of [permitted] meat, whether an ox or a sheep; he will give the kohein the foreleg and the jaw and the [fourth] stomach.

The first portion of your grain, your wine, and your olive oil, and the first of the shearing of your sheep are you to give him.

For him did Adonoy, your God, choose from all your tribes to stand and perform the service in the name of Adonoy, he and his sons for all time.

If a Levite should come from one of your cities throughout Yisroel where he sojourns, coming will all his soul’s desire to the place that Adonoy chooses.

He shall perform the service in the name of Adonoy, his God, like all his brother Levites who stand [serve] there [(in prayer)] in Adonoy’s Presence.

They shall eat equal portions [portion for portions], except for what the families sold [to one another] [exept for the allotment which come on Shabbos, as our (fore)fathers have regulated].

Because you are entering the land that Adonoy, your God, is giving you; do not learn to perpetrate the abominations of those nations.

Let there not exist among you anyone who passes his son or daughter through fire, who practices the kosem-occult; who practices time-frame-occult or who divines portentuous events or a sorcerer.

Or a snake charmer, or one who invokes the spirit of Ov or yidoni, or communicates with the dead.

For Adonoy’s abomination is [distances] anyone perpetrating this and because of these abominations, Adonoy, your God, is expelling them from before you.

Walk in perfect trust with [in the fear of] Adonoy, your God.

Although these nations whom you are inheriting heed augurers and sorcerers, but as to you—Adonoy, your God, has not given you their status.

A prophet from your midst, of your brethren, like me, will Adonoy, your God, establish for you; heed him.

Exactly as you requested from [before] Adonoy, your God, at Choreiv, on the day of assembly, saying, ‘‘Let me not continue to hear the voice [the word] of Adonoy, my God, and this great fire let me not see any more as that I will not die.’’

Adonoy said to me, ‘‘What they said is excellent.

A prophet will I establish for them from among their brethren like you, and I will place My words [of prophecy] in his mouth and he will tell them everything that I command him.

Now, the man who does not heed My words that he speaks in My Name; I [My word] will demand from him.

But the prophet who will malevolently make a statement in My Name, something that I did not instruct him to say, or which he says in the name of foreign gods [idols of the nations], that prophet must die.

If you should say to yourself, ‘‘How can we know [which is] the statement that Adonoy did not speak?’’

Should the prophet speak in Adonoy’s Name, and the matter does not happen and is not fulfilled, that is the statement that Adonoy did not speak. The prophet spoke it malevolently; do not fear him.
