Deuteronomy 18
18
1 "The priests and the Levites, and all who are from the same tribe, shall have no portion or inheritance with the rest of Israel. For they shall eat the sacrifices of the Lord and his oblations.
2 And they shall receive nothing else from the possession of their brothers. For the Lord himself is their inheritance, just as he said to them.
3 This shall be the recompense for the priests from the people, and from those who offer victims, whether they will immolate an ox or a sheep. They shall give to the priest the shoulder and the breast,
4 the first-fruits of grain, wine, and oil, and a portion of the wool from the shearing of the sheep.
5 For the Lord your God himself has chosen him out of all your tribes, so that he may stand and minister to the name of the Lord, him and his sons, forever.
6 If a Levite departs from one of the cities, throughout all of Israel, in which he lives, and if he wills and desires to go to the place which the Lord will choose,
7 he shall minister in the name of the Lord his God, as do all his brothers, the Levites, who will be standing at that time in the sight of the Lord.
8 He shall receive the same portion of food as the rest also receive, besides that which is due to him in his own city, by succession from his fathers.
9 When you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, be careful that you are not willing to imitate the abominations of those nations.
10 Do not let there be found among you one who would purify his son or daughter by leading them through fire, nor one who consults seers, nor one who observes dreams or omens. Do not let there be found among you one who practices the occult,
11 nor one who uses spells, nor one who consults demonic spirits, nor a diviner, nor one who seeks the truth from the dead.
12 For the Lord abominates all these things. And, because of these wicked ways, he will destroy them at your arrival.
13 You shall be perfect and without blemish with the Lord your God.
14 These nations, whose land you shall possess, they listen to soothsayers and diviners. But you have been otherwise instructed by the Lord your God.
15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a PROPHET from your nation and from your brothers, similar to me. You shall listen to him,
16 just as you petitioned of the Lord your God at Horeb, when the assembly was gathered together, and you said: 'Let me no longer hear the voice of the Lord my God, and let me no longer see this very great fire, lest I die.'
17 And the Lord said to me: 'They have spoken all these things well.
18 I will raise up a prophet for them, from the midst of their brothers, similar to you. And I will place my words in his mouth, and he will speak to them all the things that I will instruct him.
19 But against anyone who is not willing to listen to his words, which he will speak in my name, I will stand forth as the avenger.
20 But if a prophet, having been corrupted by arrogance, chooses to speak, in my name, things which I did not instruct him to say, or to speak in the name of foreign gods, he shall be put to death.
21 But if, in silent thought, you respond: "How will I be able to recognize a word which the Lord has not spoken?"
22 you shall have this sign. If whatever that prophet predicts in the name of the Lord does not happen, then the Lord has not spoken it. Instead, the prophet has formed it through the swelling of his own mind. And for this reason, you shall not fear him.' "

Les droits des sacrificateurs et des Lévites
V. 1-8: cf. No 18. La 3:24.
1Les sacrificateurs, les Lévites, la tribu entière de Lévi, n’auront ni part ni héritage avec Israël; #No 18:20. De 10:9. 1 Co 9:13.ils se nourriront des sacrifices consumés par le feu en l’honneur de l’Éternel et de l’héritage de l’Éternel. 2Ils n’auront point d’héritage au milieu de leurs frères: #No 18:20, etc. De 10:9. Éz 44:28.l’Éternel sera leur héritage, comme il le leur a dit. 3Voici quel sera le droit des sacrificateurs sur le peuple, sur ceux qui offriront un sacrifice, un bœuf ou un agneau: on donnera au sacrificateur l’épaule, les mâchoires et l’estomac. 4Tu lui donneras les prémices de ton blé, de ton moût et de ton huile, et les prémices de la toison de tes brebis; 5car c’est lui que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, a choisi entre toutes les tribus, pour qu’il fasse le service au nom de l’Éternel, lui et ses fils, à toujours. 6Lorsque le Lévite quittera l’une de tes portes, le lieu quelconque où il demeure en Israël, pour se rendre, selon la plénitude de son désir, au lieu que choisira l’Éternel, 7et qu’il fera le service au nom de l’Éternel, ton Dieu, comme tous ses frères les Lévites qui se tiennent là devant l’Éternel, 8il recevra pour sa nourriture une portion égale à la leur, et jouira, en outre, des revenus de la vente de son patrimoine.
La divination et la magie
V. 9-14: cf. Lé 20:1-6, 27. (2 R 17:15, 17. 2 Ch 33:6.) Ép 5:11.
9Lorsque tu seras entré dans le pays que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne, tu n’apprendras point à imiter les abominations de ces nations-là. 10Qu’on ne trouve chez toi personne #Lé 18:21.qui fasse passer son fils ou sa fille par le feu, #Lé 20:27. 1 S 28:7. És 8:19.personne qui exerce le métier de devin, d’astrologue, d’augure, de magicien, 11d’enchanteur, personne qui consulte ceux qui évoquent les esprits ou disent la bonne aventure, personne qui interroge les morts. 12Car quiconque fait ces choses est en abomination à l’Éternel; et c’est à cause de ces abominations que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, va chasser ces nations devant toi. 13Tu seras entièrement à l’Éternel, ton Dieu. 14Car ces nations que tu chasseras écoutent les astrologues et les devins; mais à toi, l’Éternel, ton Dieu, ne le permet pas.
Les prophètes
V. 15-22: cf. (Ac 3:22-26. Hé 3:1-14.) (Jé 28. De 13:1-5.) (Jn 4:29; 9:17.)
15 #
Jn 1:46. Ac 3:22; 7:37. L’Éternel, ton Dieu, te suscitera du milieu de toi, d’entre tes frères, un prophète comme moi: vous l’écouterez! 16Il répondra ainsi à la demande que tu fis à l’Éternel, ton Dieu, à Horeb, le jour de l’assemblée, quand tu disais: #Ex 20:19. De 5:25. Hé 12:19.Que je n’entende plus la voix de l’Éternel, mon Dieu, et que je ne voie plus ce grand feu, afin de ne pas mourir. 17L’Éternel me dit: Ce qu’ils ont dit est bien. 18Je leur susciterai du milieu de leurs frères un prophète comme toi, je mettrai mes paroles dans sa bouche, #Jn 4:25.et il leur dira tout ce que je lui commanderai. 19Et si quelqu’un n’écoute pas mes paroles qu’il dira en mon nom, c’est moi qui lui en demanderai compte. 20Mais #De 13:5. Jé 14:14.le prophète qui aura l’audace de dire en mon nom une parole que je ne lui aurai point commandé de dire, ou qui parlera au nom d’autres dieux, ce prophète-là sera puni de mort. 21Peut-être diras-tu dans ton cœur: Comment connaîtrons-nous la parole que l’Éternel n’aura point dite? 22Quand ce que dira le prophète n’aura pas lieu et n’arrivera pas, ce sera une parole que l’Éternel n’aura point dite. C’est par audace que le prophète l’aura dite: n’aie pas peur de lui.
