Bible. Deuteronomy
017:011 according to the tenor of the law which they shall teach you,
and according to the judgment which they shall tell you,
you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the sentence
which they shall show you, to the right hand, nor to the left.
017:012 The man who does presumptuously, in not listening to the priest
who stands to minister there before Yahweh your God,
or to the judge, even that man shall die: and you shall put
away the evil from Israel.
017:013 All the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
017:014 When you are come to the land which Yahweh your God gives you,
and shall possess it, and shall dwell therein, and shall say,
I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are
round about me;
017:015 you shall surely set him king over you, whom Yahweh your
God shall choose: one from among your brothers shall you
set king over you; you may not put a foreigner over you,
who is not your brother.
017:016 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people
to return to Egypt, to the end that he may multiply horses;
because Yahweh has said to you, You shall henceforth return
no more that way.
017:017 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart
not turn away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself
silver and gold.
017:018 It shall be, when he sits on 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:
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 Yahweh his God,
to keep all the words of this law and these statutes,
to do them;
017:020 that his heart not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he not
turn 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.
018:001 The priests the Levites, [even] all the tribe of Levi,
shall have no portion nor inheritance with Israel:
they shall eat the offerings of Yahweh made by fire,
and his inheritance.
018:002 They shall have no inheritance among their brothers:
Yahweh is their inheritance, as he has spoken to them.
018:003 This shall be the priests' due from the people, from those
who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they
shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks,
and the maw.
018:004 The first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil,
and the first of the fleece of your sheep, shall you give him.
018:005 For Yahweh your God has chosen him out of all your tribes,
to stand to minister in the name of Yahweh, him and his
sons for ever.
