⥃Provision for Priests and Levites ^{[ 1 Corinthians 9:1–18 ]}

[1] The priests the Levites, [and] all the tribe of Levi, shall have² no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall³ eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and his inheritance. [2] Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the Lord⁴ [is] their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.

[3] [¶]And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice⁵, whether [it be] ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. [4] The firstfruit⁶ [also] of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece⁷ of thy sheep, shalt thou give him. [5] For the Lord thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the Lord, him and his sons for ever.⁸

[6] [¶]And if a Levite come⁹ from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with¹⁰ all the desire of his mind unto the place¹¹ which the Lord shall choose; [7] Then he shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as all his brethren¹² the Levites [do], which stand there before the Lord. [8] They shall have like portions¹³ to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony¹⁴.

⥃Sorcery Forbidden ^{[ Acts 8:9–25 ]}

[9] When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.¹⁵ [10] There shall not be found among you [any one] that maketh¹⁶ his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth divination¹⁷, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, [11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer¹⁸. [12] For all that do these things [are] an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.¹⁹ [13] Thou shalt²⁰ be perfect²¹ with the Lord thy God. [14] For these nations, which thou shalt possess²², hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered²³ thee so [to do].

⥃A Prophet Like Moses ^{[ Acts 3:11–26 ]}

[15] The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet²⁴ from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me²⁵; unto him²⁶ ye shall hearken; [16] According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb²⁷ in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear²⁸ again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. [17] And the Lord said unto me, They have well [spoken that] which they have spoken.²⁹ [18] I will raise them³⁰ up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto³¹ thee, and will put³² my words in his mouth; and he shall³³ speak unto them all that I shall command him. [19] And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require [it] of him.³⁴ [20] But the prophet³⁵, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name³⁶ of other gods, even that prophet shall die. [21] And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?³⁷ [22] When a prophet speaketh³⁸ in the name of the Lord, if the thing³⁹ follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously⁴⁰: thou shalt not⁴¹ be afraid of him.
