Deuteronomy 18:5-14 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. “For יהוה your Elohim has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to serve in the Name of יהוה, him and his sons forever.

6. “And when the Lĕwite comes from one of your gates, from where he has sojourned among all Yisra’ĕl, and shall come with all the desire of his being to the place which יהוה chooses,

7. then he shall serve in the Name of יהוה his Elohim, like all his brothers the Lĕwites, who are standing there before יהוה.

8. “They are to have portion for portion to eat, besides what comes from the sale of his inheritance.

9. “When you come into the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, do not learn to do according to the abominations of those gentiles.

10. “Let no one be found among you who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practises divination, or a user of magic, or one who interprets omens or a sorcerer,

11. or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.

12. “For whoever does these are an abomination to יהוה, and because of these abominations יהוה your Elohim drives them out from before you.

13. “Be perfect before יהוה your Elohim,

14. for these nations whom you are possessing do listen to those using magic and to diviners. But as for you, יהוה your Elohim has not appointed such for you.
