One of thy brethren must thou make
king over thee, and mayst not set a stranger over thee which is
not of thy brethren. But in any wise let him not hold too many
horses, that he bring not the people again to Egypt thorow the
multitude of horses, forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you: ye
shall henceforth go no more again that way. Also he shall not have
too many wives, lest his heart turn away, neither shall he gather
him silver and gold too much. And when he is sitten upon the seat
of his kingdom, he shall write him out this second law in a book
taking a copy of the priests' the Levites'. And it shall be with
him and he shall read there in all days of his life that he may
learn to fear the LORD his God for to keep all the words of this
law and these ordinances for to do them: that his heart arise not
above his brethren and that he turn not from the commandment:
either to the right hand or to the left: that both he and his
children may prolong their days in his kingdom in Israel.
Chapter .xviij.
The priests the Levites, all the tribe of Levi shall have no part
nor inheritance with Israel. The offerings of the LORD and his
inheritance they shall eat, but shall have no inheritance among
their brethren: the LORD he is their inheritance, as he hath said
unto them.
