Deuteronomy 18:5-14 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

5. for Jehovah thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, that he may stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, he and his sons continually.

6. And if the Levite shall come from one of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and shall come according to all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah will choose,

7. and shall serve in the name of Jehovah his God as all his brethren the Levites that stand there before Jehovah,

8. --they shall have like portions to eat, besides that which he hath sold of his patrimony.

9. When thou art come into the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.

10. There shall not be found among you he that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, that useth divination, that useth auguries, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,

11. or a charmer, or one that inquireth of a spirit of Python, or a soothsayer, or one that consulteth the dead.

12. For every one that doeth these things is an abomination to Jehovah, and because of these abominations Jehovah thy God doth dispossess them from before thee.

13. Thou shalt be perfect with Jehovah thy God

14. For these nations, which thou shalt dispossess, hearkened unto those that use auguries, and that use divination; but as for thee, Jehovah thy God hath not suffered thee to do so.
