DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 18
- Deuteronomy 18:1 'There is not to the priests the Levites -- all the tribe of Levi -- a portion and inheritance with Israel; fire-offerings of YHWH, even His inheritance, they eat,
- 18:2 and he hath no inheritance in the midst of his brethren; YHWH Himself [is] his inheritance, as He hath spoken to him.
- 18:3 'And this is the priest's right from the people, from those sacrificing a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep, he hath even given to the priest the leg, and the two cheeks, and the stomach;
- 18:4 the first of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy flock, thou dost give to him;
- 18:5 for on him hath YHWH thy God fixed, out of all thy tribes, to stand to serve in the name of YHWH, He and his sons continually.
- 18:6 'And when the Levite cometh from one of thy cities out of all Israel, where he hath sojourned, and hath come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which YHWH doth choose,
- 18:7 then he hath ministered in the name of YHWH his God, like all his brethren, the Levites, who are standing there before YHWH,
- 18:8 portion as portion they do eat, apart from his sold things, with the fathers.
- 18:9 'When thou art coming in unto the land which YHWH thy God is giving to thee, thou dost not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations:
- Deuteronomy 18:10 there is not found in thee one causing his son and his daughter to pass over into fire, a user of divinations, an observer of clouds, and an enchanter, and a sorcerer,
- 18:11 and a charmer, and one asking at a familiar spirit, and a wizard, and one seeking unto the dead.
- 18:12 'For the abomination of YHWH [is] every one doing these, and because of these abominations is YHWH thy God dispossessing them from thy presence.
- 18:13 Perfect thou art with YHWH thy God,
- 18:14 for these nations whom thou art possessing, unto observers of clouds, and unto diviners, do hearken; and thou -- not so hath YHWH thy God suffered thee.
- 18:15 'A prophet out of thy midst, out of thy brethren, like to me, doth YHWH thy God raise up to thee -- unto him ye hearken;
- 18:16 according to all that thou didst ask from YHWH thy God, in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not add to hear the voice of YHWH my God, and this great fire let me not see any more, and I die not;
- 18:17 and YHWH saith unto me, They have done well that they have spoken;
- 18:18 a prophet I raise up to them, out of the midst of their brethren, like to thee; and I have given my words in his mouth, and he hath spoken unto them all that which I command him;
- 18:19 and it hath been -- the man who doth not hearken unto My words which he doth speak in My name, I require [it] of him.
- Deuteronomy 18:20 'Only, the prophet who presumeth to speak a word in My name -- that which I have not commanded him to speak -- and who speaketh in the name of other gods -- even that prophet hath died.
- 18:21 'And when thou sayest in thy heart, How do we know the word which YHWH hath not spoken? --
- 18:22 that which the prophet speaketh in the name of YHWH, and the thing is not, and cometh not -- it [is] the word which YHWH hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; -- thou art not afraid of him.

DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 19
- Deuteronomy 19:1 'When YHWH thy God doth cut off the nations, whose land YHWH thy God is giving to thee, and thou hast succeeded them, and dwelt in their cities, and in their houses,
- 19:2 three cities thou dost separate for thee in the midst of thy land which YHWH thy God is giving to thee to possess it.
- 19:3 Thou dost prepare for thee the way, and hast divided into three parts the border of thy land which YHWH thy God doth cause thee to inherit, and it hath been for the fleeing thither of every man-slayer.
- 19:4 'And this [is] the matter of the man-slayer who fleeth thither, and hath lived: He who smiteth his neighbour unknowingly, and is not hating him heretofore,
- 19:5 even he who cometh in with his neighbour into a forest to hew wood, and his hand hath driven with an axe to cut the tree, and the iron hath slipped from the wood, and hath met his neighbour, and he hath died -- he doth flee unto one of these cities, and hath lived,
- 19:6 lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the man-slayer when his heart is hot, and hath overtaken him (because the way is great), and hath smitten him -- the life, and he hath no sentence of death, for he is not hating him heretofore;
- 19:7 therefore I am commanding thee, saying, Three cities thou dost separate to thee.
- 19:8 'And if YHWH thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath sworn to thy fathers, and hath given to thee all the land which He hath spoken to give to thy fathers --
- 19:9 when thou keepest all this command to do it, which I am commanding thee to-day, to love YHWH thy God, and to walk in His ways all the days -- then thou hast added to thee yet three cities to these three;
- Deuteronomy 19:10 and innocent blood is not shed in the midst of thy land which YHWH thy God is giving to thee -- an inheritance, and there hath been upon thee blood.
- 19:11 'And when a man is hating his neighbour, and hath lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and smitten him -- the life, and he hath died, and he hath fled unto one of these cities,
- 19:12 then the elders of his city have sent and taken him from thence, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he hath died;
- 19:13 thine eye hath no pity on him, and thou hast put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with thee.
- 19:14 'Thou dost not remove a border of thy neighbour, which they of former times have made, in thine inheritance, which thou dost inherit in the land which YHWH thy God is giving to thee to possess it.
- 19:15 'One witness doth not rise against a man for any iniquity, and for any sin, in any sin which he sinneth; by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, is a thing established.
- 19:16 'When a violent witness doth rise against a man, to testify against him apostacy,
- 19:17 then have both the men who have the strife stood before YHWH, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,
- 19:18 and the judges have searched diligently, and lo, the witness [is] a false witness, a falsehood he hath testified against his brother:
- 19:19 'Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst,
- Deuteronomy 19:20 and those who are left do hear and fear, and add not to do any more according to this evil thing in thy midst;
- 19:21 and thine eye doth not pity -- life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

- 20:2 and it hath been, in your drawing near unto the battle, that the priest hath come nigh, and spoken unto the people,
- 20:3 and said unto them, Hear, Israel, ye are drawing near to-day to battle against your enemies, let not your hearts be tender, fear not, nor make haste, nor be terrified at their presence,

- 20:12 'And if it doth not make peace with thee, and hath made with thee war, then thou hast laid siege against it,
- 20:13 and YHWH thy God hath given it into thy hand, and thou hast smitten every male of it by the mouth of the sword.
- 20:14 Only, the women, and the infants, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, thou dost seize for thyself, and thou hast eaten the spoil of thine enemies which YHWH thy God hath given to thee.
- 20:15 So thou dost do to all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
- 20:16 'Only, of the cities of these peoples which YHWH thy God is giving to thee [for] an inheritance, thou dost not keep alive any breathing;
- 20:17 for thou dost certainly devote the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, as YHWH thy God hath commanded thee,
- 20:18 so that they teach you not to do according to all their abominations which they have done to their gods, and ye have sinned against YHWH your God.
- 20:19 'When thou layest siege unto a city many days, to fight against it, to capture it, thou dost not destroy its trees to force an axe against them, for of them thou dost eat, and them thou dost not cut down -- for man's [is] the tree of the field -- to go in at thy presence in the siege.
- Deuteronomy 20:20 Only, the tree, which thou knowest that it [is] not a fruit-tree, it thou dost destroy, and hast cut down, and hast built a bulwark against the city which is making with thee war till thou hast subdued it.
