However, he shall not amass horses to himself, and he shall not turn the people back to Egypt so that he may amass horses, since Jehovah has said to you, You shall never again return that way.

And he shall not amass wives to himself, so that his heart does not turn aside; nor shall he amass silver and gold to himself in great amounts.

And when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write out for himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the Levitical priests.

And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, in order that he may learn to fear Jehovah his God by keeping all the words of this law and these statutes and doing them,

So that his heart may not be lifted up above his brothers and he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right or to the left; that he and his sons may extend their days over their kingdom in the midst of Israel.

The Levitical priests and the whole tribe of Levi shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel; they shall eat Jehovah's offerings by fire and His inheritance.

Thus they shall have no inheritance in the midst of their brothers; Jehovah is their inheritance, as He has promised them.

And this shall be the priests' rightful due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether an ox or a sheep: They shall give the priest the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the stomach.

You shall give him the firstfruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your fresh oil, and the first shearing of your sheep;

For Jehovah your God has chosen him and his sons out of all your tribes to stand and minister in Jehovah's name always.

And if a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel, where he sojourns, and comes according to all his soul's desire to the place which Jehovah will choose,

He shall minister in the name of Jehovah his God, like all his brothers, the Levites, who stand there before Jehovah.

They shall eat equal portions, besides the proceeds from the sale of his father's estate.

When you enter the land which Jehovah your God is giving you, you shall not learn to do things according to the abominations of those nations.

There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through fire; anyone who performs divination, practices soothsaying, or interprets omens; or anyone who employs sorcery

Or casts spells; or anyone who consults a spirit of the dead or a familiar spirit or inquires of the dead;

For everyone who does these things is an abomination to Jehovah; and on account of these abominations Jehovah your God is dispossessing them from before you.

You shall be blameless toward Jehovah your God.

For these nations whom you are dispossessing listen to those who practice soothsaying and to those who perform divination, but Jehovah your God has not allowed you to do so.

A Prophet will Jehovah your God raise up for you from your midst, from among your brothers, like me; you shall listen to Him.
