📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Deuteronomy 18 declares that the Levitical priests have no inheritance among Israel because the Lord Himself is their inheritance, and it lists the portions due to them from the people's offerings. It forbids the abominations of the surrounding nations—divination, witchcraft, and consulting the dead—and promises that the Lord will raise up a Prophet like Moses from among them whom they must heed. The chapter closes by giving the test of a true prophet: if the predicted thing does not come to pass, he has spoken presumptuously and need not be feared.

(1) The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
