"If a Levi from one of your towns anywhere in Isra'el where he is living comes, highly motivated, to the place which ADONAI will choose,
7
then he will serve there in the name of ADONAI his God, just like his kinsmen the L'vi'im who stand and serve in the presence of ADONAI.
8
Such a Levi will receive the same share as they do, in addition to what he may receive from selling his inherited ancestral property.

"When you enter the land ADONAI your God is giving you, you are not to learn how to follow the abominable practices of those nations.
10
There must not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through fire, a diviner, a soothsayer, an enchanter, a sorcerer,
11
a spell-caster, a consulter of ghosts or spirits, or a necromancer.
12
For whoever does these things is detestable to ADONAI, and because of these abominations ADONAI your God is driving them out ahead of you.
13
You must be wholehearted with ADONAI your God.
14
For these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to soothsayers and diviners; but you, ADONAI your God does not allow you to do this.
15
"ADONAI will raise up for you a prophet like me from among yourselves, from your own kinsmen. You are to pay attention to him,
16
just as when you were assembled at Horev and requested ADONAI your God, 'Don't let me hear the voice of ADONAI my God any more, or let me see this great fire ever again; if I do, I will die!'
