Deuteronomy 18:15-22 A prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me, will the Lord thy God raise up unto thee; unto him shall ye hearken:

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ A prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me, will the Lord thy God raise up unto thee; unto him shall ye hearken: ¹⁶ According to all that thou didst desire of the Lord thy God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, I wish no more to hear the voice of the Lord my God, and this great fire I wish not to see again, that I die not. ¹⁷ And the Lord said unto me, They have done well in what they have spoken. ¹⁸ A prophet will I raise up unto them from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I may command him. ¹⁹ And it shall come to pass, that if there be a man who will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. ²⁰ But the prophet, who may presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who may speak in the name of other Gods even that prophet shall die. ²¹ And if thou shouldst say in thy heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? ²² That which the prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, and the thing do not happen and come not to pass—this is the word which the Lord hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; thou shalt not be afraid of him.
