GreekΟὐκ ἔσται τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς Λευίταις ὅλῃ φυλῇ Λευὶ μερὶς οὐδὲ κλῆρος μετὰ Ἰσραήλ· καρπώματα Κυρίου ὁ κλῆρος αὐτῶν, φάγονται αὐτά.

Thomsonand they shall not have a lot of inheritance among their brethren. The Lord Himself is their lot of inheritance, as He hath said to them.

BrentonAnd they shall have no inheritance among their brethren; the Lord himself is his portion, as he said to him.

GreekΚλῆρος δὲ οὐκ ἔσται αὐτοῖς ἐν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτῶν· Κύριος αὐτὸς κλῆρος αὐτοῦ, καθότι εἶπεν αὐτῷ.

ThomsonNow this shall be the priest’s due from the people—from them who offer sacrifices, whether a young bull, or a sheep, thou shalt give to the priest the shoulder, and the cheeks, and the maw.

BrentonAnd this is the due of the priests in the things coming from the people from those who offer sacrifices, whether it be a calf or a sheep; and thou shalt give the shoulder to the priest, and the cheeks, and the great intestine:

GreekΚαὶ αὕτη ἡ κρίσις τῶν ἱερέων τὰ παρὰ τοῦ λαοῦ παρὰ τῶν θυόντων τὰ θύματα, ἐάν τε μόσχον, ἐάν τε πρόβατον· καὶ δώσεις τὸν βραχίονα τῷ ἱερεῖ, καὶ τὰ σιαγόνια, καὶ τὸ ἔνυστρον,

ThomsonBecause the Lord hath chosen him, out of all thy tribes, to stand before the Lord God, to minister and to bless, in his name; therefore with regard to him and his sons,

Brentonbecause the Lord has chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand before the Lord thy God, to minister and bless in his name, himself and his sons among the children of Israel.

Thomsonfor every one who practiseth such things is an abomination to the Lord thy God; for, because of these abominations, the Lord will root them out from before you.

BrentonFor every one that does these things is an abomination to the Lord thy God; for because of these abominations the Lord will destroy them from before thy face.

GreekἜστι γὰρ βδέλυγμα Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ σου πᾶς ποιῶν ταῦτα· ἕνεκεν γὰρ τῶν βδελυγμάτων τούτων Κύριος ἐξολοθρεύσει αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου σου.

ThomsonNow if thou shalt say in thy heart, How shall I know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?

BrentonBut if thou shalt say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken?
