- Does Deuteronomy 18:1 refer to Kohanim and Levites or the “Kohanim who officiate?”
- Are the Kohanim to own land?
- What is provided for the Kohanim and from whom do these provisions derive? (Deuteronomy 18:1-5)
- Deuteronomy 18:6-8 refer to Levites; but is the implication Kohanim?
- Is there any exception to the portion of the Levite who is not resident in the area of the worship center?
- What prohibitions as to “ritual” are set forth in Deuteronomy 18:9-14 and what is the source of these unacceptable practices?
- The procedures outlined are meant to “determine a course of action” and/or “ascertain the future.” For the Israelite, how is that to be done (Deuteronomy 118:5 et seq)?
- In Deuteronomy 18:16 what will “never happen again,” which requires the person of the Navi?
- How does one ascertain if the prophet has violated his role (Deuteronomy 18:22)?
- And, if he/she does so violate, what is to be done?
