The priests the Levites, even all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of Allah made by fire, and his inheritance. 2They shall have no inheritance among their brothers: Allah is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them. 3This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. 4The first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, shall you give him. 5For Allah your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand to minister in the name of Allah, him and his sons for ever. 6If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he lives as a foreigner, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Allah shall choose; 7then he shall minister in the name of Allah his God, as all his brothers the Levites do, who stand there before Allah. 8They shall have like portions to eat, besides that which comes of the sale of his patrimony. 9When you are come into the land which Allah your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, 11or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12For whoever does these things is an abomination to Allah: and because of these abominations Allah your God does drive them out from before you. 13You shall be fully devoted to Allah your God. 14For these nations, that you shall dispossess, listen to those who practice sorcery, and to diviners; but as for you, Allah your God has not allowed you so to do. 15Allah your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to him;[1] 16according to all that you desired of Allah your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of Allah my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die. 17Allah said to me, They have well said that which they have spoken. 18I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him. 19It will be, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.[2] 20But the prophet, who shall speak a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. 21If you say in your heart, How shall we know the word which Allah has not spoken? 22when a prophet speaks in the name of Allah, if the thing does not follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Allah has not spoken: the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you shall not be afraid of him.
