05:017:016 But he shall not multiply horses to himself,
nor cause the
people
to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply
horses:
forasmuch as the lord hath said unto you, Ye shall
henceforth
return no more that way.
05:017:017 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself,
that his heart
turn
not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to
himself
silver
and gold.
05:017:018 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the
throne of his
kingdom,
that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book
out
of that which is before the priests the Levites:
05:017:019 And it shall be with him, and he shall
read therein all the
days
of his life: that he may learn to fear the lord
his God,
to
keep all the words of this law and these statutes,
to do
them:
05:017:020 That his heart be not lifted up above his
brethren, and that
he
turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand,
or
to
the left: to the end that he may prolong his days
in his
kingdom,
he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
05:018:001 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.
05:018:002 Therefore shall they have no inheritance
among their brethren:
the
lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto
them.
05:018:003 And this shall be the priest’s due
from the people, from them
that
offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they
shall
give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks,
and
the maw.
05:018:004 The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy
wine, and of thine
oil,
and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou
give
him.
05:018:005 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.
05:018:006 And if a Levite come from any of thy gates
out of all Israel,
where
he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind
unto
the place which the lord shall choose;
05:018:007 Then he shall minister in the name of the
lord his God, as all
his
brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the
lord.
05:018:008 They shall have like portions to eat, beside
that which cometh
of
the sale of his patrimony.
05:018:009 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.
