Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Deuteronomy 18

1 The LORD is the priests' and Levites' inheritance. 3 The priest's due. 6 The Levite's portion. 9 The abominations of the nations are to be avoided. 15 Christ the Prophet is to be heard. 20 The presumptuous prophet is to die.

 18:1 ¶ The priests 3548 the Levites, 3881 [and] all x3605 the tribe 7626 of Levi, 3878 shall have x1961 no x3808 part 2506 nor inheritance 5159 with x5973 Israel: 3478 they shall eat 398 z8799 the offerings y801 z0 of the LORD y3068 made by fire, 801 x3068 and his inheritance. 5159

 18:2 Therefore shall they have x1961 no x3808 inheritance 5159 among 7130 their brethren: 251 the LORD 3068 [is] their inheritance, 5159 as x834 he hath said 1696 z8765 unto them.

 18:3 ¶ And this x2088 shall be x1961 the priest's 3548 due 4941 from x4480 x854 the people, 5971 from x4480 x854 them that offer 2076 z8802 a sacrifice, 2077 whether x518 [it be] ox 7794 or x518 sheep; 7716 and they shall give 5414 z8804 unto the priest 3548 the shoulder, 2220 and the two cheeks, 3895 and the maw. 6896

 18:4 The firstfruit 7225 [also] of thy corn, 1715 of thy wine, 8492 and of thine oil, 3323 and the first 7225 of the fleece 1488 of thy sheep, 6629 shalt thou give 5414 z8799 him.

 18:5 For x3588 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath chosen 977 z8804 him out of all x4480 x3605 thy tribes, 7626 to stand 5975 z8800 to minister 8334 z8763 in the name 8034 of the LORD, 3068 him x1931 and his sons 1121 for ever. 3117 x3605

 18:6 ¶ And if x3588 a Levite 3881 come 935 z8799 from any 259 x4480 of thy gates 8179 out of all x4480 x3605 Israel, 3478 where x834 x8033 he x1931 sojourned, 1481 z8802 and come 935 z8804 with all x3605 the desire 185 of his mind 5315 unto x413 the place 4725 which x834 the LORD 3068 shall choose; 977 z8799

 18:7 Then he shall minister 8334 z8765 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 his God, 430 as all x3605 his brethren 251 the Levites 3881 [do], which stand 5975 z8802 there x8033 before 6440 the LORD. 3068

 18:8 They shall have like portions 2506 to eat, 398 z8799 beside x905 that which cometh of the sale 4465 x4480 of x5921 his patrimony. 1

 18:9 ¶ When x3588 thou x859 art come 935 z8802 into x413 the land 776 which x834 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 giveth 5414 z8802 thee, thou shalt not x3808 learn 3925 z8799 to do 6213 z8800 after the abominations 8441 of those x1992 nations. 1471

 18:10 There shall not x3808 be found 4672 z8735 among you [any one] that maketh his son 1121 or his daughter 1323 to pass y5674 z8688 through x5674 the fire, 784 [or] that useth 7080 z8802 divination, 7081 [or] an observer of times, 6049 z8781 or an enchanter, 5172 z8764 or a witch, 3784 z8764

 18:11 Or a charmer, 2266 2267 z8802 or a consulter 7592 z8802 with familiar spirits, 178 or a wizard, 3049 or a necromancer. 1875 4191 z8802 z8801 x413

 18:12 For x3588 all x3605 that do 6213 z8802 these things x428 [are] an abomination 8441 unto the LORD: 3068 and because 1558 of these x428 abominations 8441 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 doth drive them out 3423 z8688 x853 from before 6440 x4480 thee.

 18:13 Thou shalt be x1961 perfect 8549 with x5973 the LORD 3068 thy God. 430

 18:14 For x3588 these x428 nations, 1471 which x834 thou x859 shalt possess, 3423 z8802 x853 hearkened 8085 z8799 unto x413 observers of times, 6049 z8781 and unto x413 diviners: 7080 z8802 but as for thee, x859 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 hath not x3808 suffered 5414 z8804 thee so x3651 [to do].

 18:15 ¶ The LORD 3068 thy God 430 will raise up 6965 z8686 unto thee a Prophet 5030 from the midst 7130 x4480 of thee, of thy brethren, 251 x4480 like unto me; x3644 unto x413 him ye shall hearken; 8085 z8799

 18:16 According to all x3605 that x834 thou desiredst 7592 z8804 of x4480 x5973 the LORD 3068 thy God 430 in Horeb 2722 in the day 3117 of the assembly, 6951 saying, 559 z8800 Let me not x3808 hear 8085 z8800 again 3254 z8686 x853 the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 my God, 430 neither x3808 let me see 7200 z8799 this x2063 great 1419 fire 784 any more, x5750 that I die 4191 z8799 not. x3808

 18:17 And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, They have well 3190 z8689 [spoken that] which x834 they have spoken. 1696 z8765

 18:18 I will raise them up 6965 z8686 a Prophet 5030 from among 7130 x4480 their brethren, 251 like unto thee, x3644 and will put 5414 z8804 my words 1697 in his mouth; 6310 and he shall speak 1696 z8765 unto x413 them x853 all x3605 that x834 I shall command 6680 z8762 him.

 18:19 And it shall come to pass, x1961 [that] whosoever 376 x834 will not x3808 hearken 8085 z8799 unto x413 my words 1697 which x834 he shall speak 1696 z8762 in my name, 8034 I x595 will require 1875 z8799 [it] of x4480 x5973 him.

 18:20 But x389 the prophet, 5030 which x834 shall presume 2102 z8686 to speak 1696 z8763 a word 1697 in my name, 8034 x853 which x834 I have not x3808 commanded 6680 z8765 him to speak, 1696 z8763 or that x834 shall speak 1696 z8762 in the name 8034 of other 312 gods, 430 even that x1931 prophet 5030 shall die. 4191 z8804

 18:21 And if x3588 thou say 559 z8799 in thine heart, 3824 How x349 shall we know 3045 z8799 x853 the word 1697 which x834 the LORD 3068 hath not x3808 spoken? 1696 z8765

 18:22 When x834 a prophet 5030 speaketh 1696 z8762 in the name 8034 of the LORD, 3068 if the thing 1697 follow x1961 not, x3808 nor x3808 come to pass, 935 z8799 that x1931 [is] the thing 1697 which x834 the LORD 3068 hath not x3808 spoken, 1696 z8765 [but] the prophet 5030 hath spoken 1696 z8765 it presumptuously: 2087 thou shalt not x3808 be afraid 1481 z8799 of x4480 him.
