18 Revised Standard Version Passage Biblia Hebraica

18 1"The Levitical priests, that is, all the tribe of Levi, shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel; they shall eat the offerings by fire to the LORD, and his rightful dues.The priests' and Levites' portion. Dt.18.1-8לֹא־יִהְיֶה לַכֹּהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם כָּל־שֵׁבֶט לֵוִי חֵלֶק וְנַחֲלָה עִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל אִשֵּׁי יְהוָה וְנַחֲלָתֹו יֹאכֵלוּן׃
2They shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the LORD is their inheritance, as he promised them. וְנַחֲלָה לֹא־יִהְיֶה־לֹּו בְּקֶרֶב אֶחָיו יְהוָה הוּא נַחֲלָתֹו כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר־לֹו׃ ס
3And this shall be the priests' due from the people, from those offering a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep: they shall give to the priest the shoulder and the two cheeks and the stomach. וְזֶה יִהְיֶה מִשְׁפַּט הַכֹּהֲנִים מֵאֵת הָעָם מֵאֵת זֹבְחֵי הַזֶּבַח אִם־שֹׁור אִם־שֶׂה וְנָתַן לַכֹּהֵן הַזְּרֹעַ וְהַלְּחָיַיִם וְהַקֵּבָה׃
4The first fruits of your grain, of your wine and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him. רֵאשִׁית דְּגָנְךָ תִּירֹשְׁךָ וְיִצְהָרֶךָ וְרֵאשִׁית גֵּז צֹאנְךָ תִּתֶּן־לֹּו׃
5For the LORD your God has chosen him out of all your tribes, to stand and minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever. כִּי בֹו בָּחַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ מִכָּל־שְׁבָטֶיךָ לַעֲמֹד לְשָׁרֵת בְּשֵׁם־יְהוָה הוּא וּבָנָיו כָּל־הַיָּמִים׃ ס
6"And if a Levite comes from any of your towns out of all Israel, where he lives - and he may come when he desires - to the place which the LORD will choose, וְכִי־יָבֹא הַלֵּוִי מֵאַחַד שְׁעָרֶיךָ מִכָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר־הוּא גָּר שָׁם וּבָא בְּכָל־אַוַּת נַפְשֹׁו אֶל־הַמָּקֹום אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַר יְהוָה׃
7then he may minister in the name of the LORD his God, like all his fellow-Levites who stand to minister there before the LORD. וְשֵׁרֵת בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו כְּכָל־אֶחָיו הַלְוִיִּם הָעֹמְדִים שָׁם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה׃
8They shall have equal portions to eat, besides what he receives from the sale of his patrimony. חֵלֶק כְּחֵלֶק יֹאכֵלוּ לְבַד מִמְכָּרָיו עַל־הָאָבֹות׃ ס
