Deuteronomy 18

The Message Bible MSG

1 The Levitical priests - that's the entire tribe of Levi - don't get any land-inheritance with the rest of Israel. They get the Fire-Gift-Offerings of God - they will live on that inheritance.

2 But they don't get land-inheritance like the rest of their kinsmen. God is their inheritance.

3 This is what the priests get from the people from any offering of an ox or a sheep: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the stomach.

4 You must also give them the firstfruits of your grain, wine, and oil and the first fleece of your sheep,

5 because God, your God, has chosen only them and their children out of all your tribes to be present and serve always in the name of God, your God.

6 If a Levite moves from any town in Israel - and he is quite free to move wherever he desires - and comes to the place God designates for worship,

7 he may serve there in the name of God along with all his brother Levites who are present and serving in the Presence of God.

8 And he will get an equal share to eat, even though he has money from the sale of his parents' possessions.

9 When you enter the land that God, your God, is giving you, don't take on the abominable ways of life of the nations there.

10 Don't you dare sacrifice your son or daughter in the fire. Don't practice divination, sorcery, fortunetelling, witchery,

11 casting spells, holding séances, or channeling with the dead.

12 People who do these things are an abomination to God. It's because of just such abominable practices that God, your God, is driving these nations out before you.

13 Be completely loyal to God, your God.

14 These nations that you're about to run out of the country consort with sorcerers and witches. But not you. God, your God, forbids it.

15 God, your God, is going to raise up a prophet for you. God will raise him up from among your kinsmen, a prophet like me. Listen obediently to him.

16 This is what you asked God, your God, for at Horeb on the day you were all gathered at the mountain and said, "We can't hear any more from God, our God; we can't stand seeing any more fire. We'll die!"

17 And God said to me, "They're right; they've spoken the truth.

18 I'll raise up for them a prophet like you from their kinsmen. I'll tell him what to say and he will pass on to them everything I command him.

19 And anyone who won't listen to my words spoken by him, I will personally hold responsible.

20 "But any prophet who fakes it, who claims to speak in my name something I haven't commanded him to say, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die."

21 You may be wondering among yourselves, "How can we tell the difference, whether it was God who spoke or not?" Here's how:

22 If what the prophet spoke in God's name doesn't happen, then obviously God wasn't behind it; the prophet made it up. Forget about him.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 non habebunt sacerdotes et Levitae et omnes qui de eadem tribu sunt partem et hereditatem cum reliquo Israhel quia sacrificia Domini et oblationes eius comedent

2 et nihil aliud accipient de possessione fratrum suorum Dominus enim ipse est hereditas eorum sicut locutus est illis

3 hoc erit iudicium 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 eius in sempiternum

6 si exierit Levites de una urbium tuarum ex omni Israhel in qua habitat et voluerit venire desiderans locum quem elegerit Dominus

7 ministrabit in nomine Dei sui sicut omnes fratres eius Levitae qui stabunt eo tempore coram Domino

8 partem ciborum eandem 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 ne sit maleficus

11 ne incantator ne pythones consulat ne divinos et quaerat a mortuis veritatem

12 omnia enim haec abominatur Dominus et propter istiusmodi scelera delebit eos in introitu tuo

13 perfectus eris et absque macula cum Domino Deo tuo

14 gentes istae 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 contio 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 eius loqueturque ad eos omnia quae praecepero illi

19 qui autem verba eius quae loquetur in nomine meo audire noluerit ego ultor existam

20 propheta autem qui arrogantia depravatus voluerit loqui in nomine meo quae ego non praecepi illi ut diceret aut ex nomine alienorum deorum interficietur

21 quod si tacita cogitatione responderis quomodo possum intellegere verbum quod non est locutus Dominus

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