5 The Lord your God has chosen the Levites and their sons after them to serve him in his name always. He hasn't chosen priests from any of your other tribes.
6 Sometimes a Levite will move from the town in Israel where he's living. And he will come to the place the Lord will choose. He'll do it because he really wants to.
7 Then he can serve in the name of the Lord his God. He'll be like all of the other Levites who serve the Lord there.
8 He must have an equal share of the good things they have. That applies even if he has already received money by selling things his family owned.
9 You will enter the land the Lord your God is giving you. When you do, don't copy the practices of the nations that are there. The Lord hates those practices.
10 Here are things you must not do. Don't sacrifice your children in the fire to other gods. Don't practice any kind of evil magic at all. Don't use magic to try to explain the meaning of warnings in the sky or of any other signs. Don't take part in worshiping evil powers.
11 Don't put a spell on anyone. Don't get messages from those who have died. Don't talk to the spirits of the dead. Don't get advice from the dead.
