5 This is because the Lord your God looked at all your tribes and chose Levi and his descendants to serve him as priests forever.
6 “Any Levite living in any town anywhere in Israel may leave his home and come to the Lord’S special place. He may do this anytime he wants.
7 And this Levite may serve in the name of the Lord his God, the same as all his brother Levites who are on duty before the Lord.
8 And that Levite will get an equal share with the other Levites, in addition to the share his family normally gets.
9 “When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, don’t learn to do the terrible things the people of the other nations there do.
10 Don’t sacrifice your sons or daughters in the fires on your altars. Don’t try to learn what will happen in the future by talking to a fortuneteller or by going to a magician, a witch, or a sorcerer.
11 Don’t let anyone try to put magic spells on other people. Don’t let any of your people become a medium or a wizard. And no one should try to talk with someone who has died.
