`There is not to the priests the Levites — all the tribe of Levi – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `There is not to the priests the Levites — all the tribe of Levi — a portion and inheritance with Israel; fire-offerings of Jehovah, even His inheritance, they eat,

²and he hath no inheritance in the midst of his brethren; Jehovah Himself [is] his inheritance, as He hath spoken to him.

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;

^{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;}

⁵for on him hath Jehovah thy God fixed, out of all thy tribes, to stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, He and his sons continually.

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 Jehovah doth choose,

^{7 then he hath ministered in the name of Jehovah his God, like all his brethren, the Levites, who are standing there before Jehovah,}

⁸portion as portion they do eat, apart from his sold things, with the fathers.

^{9 `When thou art coming in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, thou dost not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations:}

^{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,}

¹¹and a charmer, and one asking at a familiar spirit, and a wizard, and one seeking unto the dead.

¹²`For the abomination of Jehovah [is] every one doing these, and because of these abominations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from thy presence.

^{13 Perfect thou art with Jehovah thy God,}

^{14 for these nations whom thou art possessing, unto observers of clouds, and unto diviners, do hearken; and thou — not so hath Jehovah thy God suffered thee.}

^{15 `A prophet out of thy midst, out of thy brethren, like to me, doth Jehovah thy God raise up to thee — unto him ye hearken;}

^{16 according to all that thou didst ask from Jehovah thy God, in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not add to hear the voice of Jehovah my God, and this great fire let me not see any more, and I die not;}

¹⁷and Jehovah saith unto me, They have done well that they have spoken;

¹⁸a 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;

^{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.}

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.

^{21 `And when thou sayest in thy heart, How do we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken? —}

²²that which the prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing is not, and cometh not — it [is] the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; — thou art not afraid of him. – Aslan International Ministry

`Sons ye [are] to Jehovah your God; ye do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `Sons ye [are] to Jehovah your God; ye do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;

²for a holy people [art] thou to Jehovah thy God, and on thee hath Jehovah fixed to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.

³`Thou dost not eat any abominable thing;

⁴`this [is] the beast which ye do eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,

⁵hart, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and pygarg, and wild ox, and chamois;

⁶and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts — it ye do eat.

⁷`Only, this ye do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit, for they are bringing up the cud but the hoof have not divided; unclean they [are] to you;

⁸and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud, unclean it [is] to you; of their flesh ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye do not come.

⁹`This ye do eat of all that [are] in the waters; all that hath fins and scales ye do eat;

¹⁰and anything which hath not fins and scales ye do not eat; unclean it [is] to you.

¹¹`Any clean bird ye do eat;

¹²and these [are] they of which ye do not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

¹³and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after its kind,

¹⁴and every raven after its kind;

¹⁵and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind;

¹⁶the [little] owl, and the [great] owl, and the swan,

¹⁷and the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,

¹⁸and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat;

¹⁹and every teeming thing which is flying, unclean it [is] to you; they are not eaten;

²⁰any clean fowl ye do eat.

²¹`Ye do not eat of any carcase; to the sojourner who [is] within thy gates thou dost give it, and he hath eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for a holy people thou [art] to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.

^{22 `Thou dost certainly tithe all the increase of thy seed which the field is bringing forth year by year;}

^{23 and thou hast eaten before Jehovah thy God, in the place where He doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle, the tithe of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd, and of thy flock, so that thou dost learn to fear Jehovah thy God all the days.}

^{24 `And when the way is too much for thee, that thou art not able to carry it — when the place is too far off from thee which Jehovah thy God doth choose to put His name there, when Jehovah thy God doth bless thee; —}

^{25 then thou hast given [it] in money, and hast bound up the money in thy hand, and gone unto the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix;}

^{26 and thou hast given the money for any thing which thy soul desireth, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for any thing which thy soul asketh, and thou hast eaten there before Jehovah thy God, and thou hast rejoiced, thou and thy house.}

²⁷As to the Levite who [is] within thy gates, thou dost not forsake him, for he hath no portion and inheritance with thee.

^{28 `At the end of three years thou dost bring out all the tithe of thine increase in that year, and hast placed [it] within thy gates;}

²⁹and come in hath the Levite (for he hath no part and inheritance with thee), and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within thy gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou dost. – Aslan International Ministry

And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death, – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death,

²and he saith: — `Jehovah from Sinai hath come, And hath risen from Seir for them; He hath shone from mount Paran, And hath come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [are] springs for them.

³Also He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in thy hand, And they — they sat down at thy foot, [Each] He lifteth up at thy words.

⁴A law hath Moses commanded us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob.

⁵And he is in Jeshurun king, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!

⁶Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be a number.

⁷And this [is] for Judah; and he saith: — Hear, O Jehovah, the voice of Judah, And unto his people do Thou bring him in; His hand hath striven for him, And an help from his adversaries art Thou.

⁸And of Levi he said: — Thy Thummim and thy Urim [are] for thy pious one, Whom Thou hast tried in Massah, Thou dost strive with Him at the waters of Meribah;

^{9 Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And his brethren he hath not discerned, And his sons he hath not known; For they have observed Thy saying, And Thy covenant they keep.}

¹⁰They teach Thy judgments to Jacob, And Thy law to Israel; They put perfume in Thy nose, And whole burnt-offering on Thine altar.

¹¹Bless, O Jehovah, his strength, And the work of his hands Thou acceptest, Smite the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him — that they rise not!

¹²Of Benjamin he said: — The beloved of Jehovah doth tabernacle confidently by him, Covering him over all the day; Yea, between his shoulders He doth tabernacle.

¹³And of Joseph he said: — Blessed of Jehovah [is] his land, By precious things of the heavens, By dew, and by the deep crouching beneath,

¹⁴And by precious things — fruits of the sun, And by precious things — cast forth by the moons,

¹⁵And by chief things — of the ancient mountains, And by precious things — of the age-during heights,

¹⁶And by precious things — of earth and its fulness, And the good pleasure Of Him who is dwelling in the bush, — Let it come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him Who is separate from his brethren.

¹⁷His honour [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are] horns of a reem; By them peoples he doth push together To the ends of earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, And they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.

¹⁸And of Zebulun he said: — Rejoice, O Zebulun, in thy going out, And, O Issachar, in thy tents;

¹⁹Peoples [to] the mountain they call, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For the abundance of the seas they suck, And hidden things hidden in the sand.

²⁰And of Gad he said: — Blessed of the Enlarger [is] Gad, As a lioness he doth tabernacle, And hath torn the arm — also the crown!

²¹And he provideth the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he cometh [with] the heads of the people; The righteousness of Jehovah he hath done, And His judgments with Israel.

²²And of Dan he said: — Dan [is] a lion’s whelp; he doth leap from Bashan.

²³And of Naphtali he said: — O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of Jehovah, West and south possess thou.

²⁴And of Asher he said: — Blessed with sons [is] Asher, Let him be accepted by his brethren, And dipping in oil his foot.

²⁵Iron and brass [are] thy shoes, And as thy days — thy strength.

²⁶There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Riding the heavens in thy help, And in His excellency the skies.

²⁷A habitation [is] the eternal God, And beneath [are] arms age-during. And He casteth out from thy presence the enemy, and saith, `Destroy!’

²⁸And Israel doth tabernacle [in] confidence alone; The eye of Jacob [is] unto a land of corn and wine; Also His heavens drop down dew.

²⁹O thy happiness, O Israel! who is like thee? A people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And He who [is] the sword of thine excellency: And thine enemies are subdued for thee, And thou on their high places dost tread.’ – Aslan International Ministry
