Chap. XVIII. In steed of other inheritance Priestes and Leuites haue prouision by Sacrifices and oblations. 9. Al superstition to be auoided. 15. Perpetuitie of prophetes, and finally one special Prophet (towit, Christ) is promised. 20. False prophetes must be slaine.

1   The priestes and Leuites, and al that are of the same tribe, shal haue no part nor inheritance with the rest of Israel, because they shal eate the sacrifices of our Lord, and his oblations,

2   and nothing els shal they receiue of the possession of their brethren: for our Lord him selfe is their inheritance, as he hath spoken to them.

3   This shal be the right of the priestes from the people, and from them that offer victimes: whether they immolate oxe, or sheepe, they shal geue to the priest the shoulder and the mawe:

4   the first fruites of corne, of wine, and oile, and a part of the woolle of their sheepe shearing.

5   For him hath our Lord chosen of al thy tribes, that he might stand, and minister to our Lord he and his sonnes for euer.

6   If a Leuite goe out of one of thy cities of al Israel in the which he dwelleth, and would come desiring the place which our Lord shal choose,

7   he shal minister in the name of our Lord his God, as al his brethren the Leuites, that shal stand at that time before our Lord.

8   He shal receiue the same portion of meates, that the rest doe: beside that, which in his owne citie is dew to him by succession from his fathers.

9   When thou art entred the Land, which our Lord thy God shal geue thee, beware

-- --

True and false Prophetes. thou be not willing to imitate the abominations of those nations.

10   Neither let there be found in thee any that shal expiate his sonne, or daughter, making them to passe through the fyre: or that demandeth of southsayers, and obserueth dreames and diuinations, neither let there be a sorcerer,

11   nor inchanter, nor that consulteth with pithone, or diuiners, and seeketh the truth of the dead.

12   for al these thinges our Lord abhorreth, and for these abominations wil he destroy them at thy entring in.

13   thou shalt be perfect, and without spotte with our Lord thy God.

14   These nations, whose land thou shalt possesse, heare southsayers and diuiners: but thou art otherwise instructed of our Lord thy God.

15   09Q0165A prophet of thy nation and of thy brethren like vnto me, wil our Lord thy God raise vp to thee: him thou shalt heare,

16   as thou didst request of our Lord thy God in Horeb, when the assemblie was gathered, and saidst: I wil no more heare the voice of our Lord my God, and this exceding great fire I wil see no more, lest I die.

17   And our Lord said to mie; They haue spoken al thinges wel.

18   A prophete wil I rayse vp to them out of the middes of their brethren like to thee: and I wil put my wordes in his mouth, and he shal speake al thinges that I shal command him.

19   but he that wil not heare his wordes, which he shal speake in my name, I wil be the reuenger.

20   And the prophet that being depraued with arrogancie wil speake in my name, the thinges note that I did not command him to say, note or in the name of strange goddes, shal be slaine.

21   And if in secrete cogitation thou answer: How shal I vnderstand the word, that our Lord spake not?

22   This signe thou shalt haue: That which the same prophete foretelleth, in the name of the Lord and cometh not to passe: that our Lord hath not spoken, but by the arrogancie of his minde the prophet hath forged it: and therfore thou shalt not feare him.
