2: Therefore inheritanceH5159 noH3808 shall haveH1961 amongH7130 their brothers-H0251 YahwehH3068 isH1931 their inheritance,H5159 asH0834 He saidH1696

3: And thisH2088 shall beH1961 dueH4941 of the priestH3548 fromH0853 the people,H5971 fromH0853 those who offerH2076 a sacrifice,H2077 whether [it is]H0518 bullH7794 orH0518 sheep-H7716 and they shall giveH5414 to the priestH3548 the shoulder,H2220 and the cheeks,H3895 and the stomach.H6896

6: So ifH3588 comesH0935 a LeviteH3881 from oneH0259 of your gatesH8179 among allH3605 Israel,H3478 from whereH0834 heH1931 dwells,H1481 thereH8033 and comesH0935 with allH3605 the desireH0185 of his mindH5315 toH0413 the placeH4725 whichH0834 chooses-H0977 Yahweh.H3068

7: Then he may serveH8334 in the nameH8034 of YahwehH3068 his God,H0430 as allH3605 his brothersH0251 the Levites [do]H3881 who standH5975 thereH8033 beforeH6440 Yahweh.H3068

8: EqualH2506 portionsH2506 they shall have to eat,H0398 besidesH0905 what comes from the saleH4465 ofH5921 his inheritance.H0001

9: WhenH3588 youH0859 comeH0935 intoH0413 the landH0776 whichH0834 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 is givingH5414 notH3808 you shall learnH3925 to followH6213 the abominationsH8441 of nationsH1471 those.H1992

11: or one who conjuresH2266 spellsH2267 or consultsH7592 a medium,H0178 or a spiritist,H3049 or one who callsH1875 upH0413 the dead.H4191

12: ForH3588 [are] an abomination toH8441 Yahweh-H3068 allH3605 who doH6213 these thingsH0428 and becauseH1558 of abominationsH8441 theseH0428 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 drives outH3423 themH0853 from before you.H6440

13: BlamelessH8549 You shall beH1961 beforeH5973 YahwehH3068 your God.H0430

14: ForH3588 nations,H1471 theseH0428 whichH0834 youH0859 will dispossessH3423 -H0853 toH0413 soothsayers,H6049 andH0413 diviners,H7080 listenedH8085 but as for you,H0859 notH3808 soH3651 has appointed suchH5414 YahwehH3068 your God.H0430

15: A ProphetH5030 from your midstH7130 from your brothers,H0251 like me-H3644 will raise upH6965 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 HimH0413 you shall hear-H8085

16: according to allH3605 thatH0834 you desiredH7592 ofH5973 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 in HorebH2722 in the dayH3117 of the assembly,H6951 saying,H0559 notH3808 let me hearH3254 againH8085 -H0853 the voiceH6963 of YahwehH3068 my God,H0430 andH0853 fireH0784 greatH1419 thisH2063 norH3808 let me seeH7200 anymore,H5750 and lestH3808 I die.H4191

17: And saidH0559 YahwehH3068 to meH0413 is goodH3190 whatH0834 they have spoken.H1696

18: A ProphetH5030 I will raise upH6965 for themH1992 from amongH7130 their brothers,H0251 like you,H3644 and will putH5414 My wordsH1697 in His mouth-H6310 and He shall speakH1696 to themH0413 -H0853 allH3605 thatH0834 I command Him.H6680

19: And it shall be,H1961 -H0376 [that] whoeverH0834 notH3808 will listenH8085 untoH0413 My wordsH1697 whichH0834 He speaksH1696 in My name,H8034 IH0595 will require [it]H1875 of him.H5973

20: ButH0389 the prophet,H5030 whoH0834 presumesH2102 to speakH1696 a wordH1697 in My name,H8034 -H0853 whichH0834 notH3808 I have commanded himH6680 to speak,H1696 or whoH0834 speaksH1696 in the nameH8034 of gods,H0430 otherH0312 and shall dieH4191 prophetH5030 that.H1931

21: And ifH3588 you sayH0559 in your heart,H3824 howH0349 shall we knowH3045 -H0853 the wordH1697 whichH0834 notH3808 has spokenH1696 Yahweh?H3068

22: whenH0834 speaksH1696 a prophetH5030 in the nameH8034 of Yahweh,H3068 and if not,H3808 does happenH1961 the thingH1697 orH3808 come to pass,H0935 it [is]H1931 the thingH1697 whichH0834 notH3808 has spoken,H1696 YahwehH3068 presumptuously-H2087 has spoken itH1696 the prophetH5030 notH3808 you shall be afraidH1481 of him.H4480
