18:7

Then he shall minister
<08334> (8765)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

his God
<0430>_,

as all his brethren
<0251>

the Levites
<03881>

[do], which stand
<05975> (8802)

there before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

18:8

They shall have like portions
<02506>

to eat
<0398> (8799)_,

beside that which cometh of the sale
<04465>

of his patrimony
<01>_.

{that...: Heb. his sale by the fathers}

18:9

When thou art come
<0935> (8802)

into the land
<0776>

which the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

thee, thou shalt not learn
<03925> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

after the abominations
<08441>

of those nations
<01471>_.

18:10

There shall not be found
<04672> (8735)

among you [any one] that maketh his son
<01121>

or his daughter
<01323>

to pass
<05674> (8688)

through the fire
<0784>_,

[or] that useth
<07080> (8802)

divination
<07081>_,

[or] an observer of times
<06049> (8781)_,

or an enchanter
<05172> (8764)_,

or a witch
<03784> (8764)_,

18:11

Or a charmer
<02266> (8802) <02267>_,

or a consulter
<07592> (8802)

with familiar spirits
<0178>_,

or a wizard
<03049>_,

or a necromancer
<01875> (8802) <04191> (8801)_.

18:12

For all that do
<06213> (8802)

these things [are] an abomination
<08441>

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

and because
<01558>

of these abominations
<08441>

the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

doth drive them out
<03423> (8688)

from before
<06440>

thee.

18:13

Thou shalt be perfect
<08549>

with the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

{perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}

18:14

For these nations
<01471>_,

which thou shalt possess
<03423> (8802)_,

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

unto observers of times
<06049> (8781)_,

and unto diviners
<07080> (8802)_:

but as for thee, the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

hath not suffered
<05414> (8804)

thee so [to do]. {possess: or, inherit}

18:15

The LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

will raise up
<06965> (8686)

unto thee a Prophet
<05030>

from the midst
<07130>

of thee, of thy brethren
<0251>_,

like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken
<08085> (8799)_;

18:16

According to all that thou desiredst
<07592> (8804)

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

in Horeb
<02722>

in the day
<03117>

of the assembly
<06951>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let me not hear
<08085> (8800)

again
<03254> (8686)

the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_,

neither let me see
<07200> (8799)

this great
<01419>

fire
<0784>

any more, that I die
<04191> (8799)

not.

18:17

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, They have well
<03190> (8689)

[spoken that] which they have spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

18:18

I will raise them up
<06965> (8686)

a Prophet
<05030>

from among
<07130>

their brethren
<0251>_,

like unto thee, and will put
<05414> (8804)

my words
<01697>

in his mouth
<06310>_;

and he shall speak
<01696> (8765)

unto them all that I shall command
<06680> (8762)

him.

18:19

And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever
<0376>

will not hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto my words
<01697>

which he shall speak
<01696> (8762)

in my name
<08034>_,

I will require
<01875> (8799)

[it] of him.

18:20

But the prophet
<05030>_,

which shall presume
<02102> (8686)

to speak
<01696> (8763)

a word
<01697>

in my name
<08034>_,

which I have not commanded
<06680> (8765)

him to speak
<01696> (8763)_,

or that shall speak
<01696> (8762)

in the name
<08034>

of other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

even that prophet
<05030>

shall die
<04191> (8804)_.

18:21

And if thou say
<0559> (8799)

in thine heart
<03824>_,

How shall we know
<03045> (8799)

the word
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)_?

18:22

When a prophet
<05030>

speaketh
<01696> (8762)

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

if the thing
<01697>

follow not, nor come to pass
<0935> (8799)_,

that [is] the thing
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

hath not spoken
<01696> (8765)_,

[but] the prophet
<05030>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

it presumptuously
<02087>_:

thou shalt not be afraid
<01481> (8799)

of him.
