4
The first fruits of your grain, of your wine and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.
5
For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand and minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
6
"And if a Levite comes from any of your towns out of all Israel, where he lives--and he may come when he desires--to the place which the LORD will choose,
7
then he may minister in the name of the LORD his God, like all his fellow-Levites who stand to minister there before the LORD.
8
They shall have equal portions to eat, besides what he receives from the sale of his patrimony.
9
"When you come into the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations.
10
There shall not be found among you any one who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, any one who practices divination, a soothsayer, or an augur, or a sorcerer,
11
or a charmer, or a medium, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12
For whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD; and because of these abominable practices the LORD your God is driving them out before you.
13
You shall be blameless before the LORD your God.
14
For these nations, which you are about to dispossess, give heed to soothsayers and to diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not allowed you so to do.
