7. Then he may minister in the name [and presence of] the Lord his God like all his brethren the Levites who stand to minister there before the Lord.
8. They shall have equal portions to eat, besides what may come of the sale of his patrimony. [Jer. 32:6-15.]
9. When you come into the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of these nations.
10. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire, or who uses divination, or is a soothsayer, or an augur, or a sorcerer,
11. Or a charmer, or a medium, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and it is because of these abominable practices that the Lord your God is driving them out before you.
13. You shall be blameless [and absolutely true] to the Lord your God.
14. For these nations whom you shall dispossess listen to soothsayers and diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do so.
15. The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet (Prophet) from the midst of your brethren like me [Moses]; to him you shall listen. [Matt. 21:11; John 1:21.]
16. This is what you desired [and asked] of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.
17. And the Lord said to me, They have well said all that they have spoken.
18. I will raise up for them a prophet (Prophet) from among their brethren like you, and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak to them all that I command him.
19. And whoever will not hearken to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him.
20. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.
21. And if you say in your [minds and] hearts, How shall we know which words the Lord has not spoken?
22. When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or prove true, that is a word which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.
