Deuteronomy 18:15-22 - A New Prophet Like Moses

¹⁵ "Yahweh your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your midst, from your countrymen, [and] to him you shall listen. ¹⁶ [This is] {according to all that you asked} from Yahweh your God at Horeb, on the day of the assembly, {saying}, '{I do not want again to hear} the voice of Yahweh my God, [and] I do not want to see again this great fire, so that I may not die!' ¹⁷ And Yahweh said to me, 'They are right [in] what they have said. ¹⁸ I will raise up a prophet for them {from among their countrymen} like you, and I will place my words into his mouth, and he shall speak to them {everything that I command him}. ¹⁹ {And then} the man that will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I will hold accountable. ²⁰ However, the prophet that behaves presumptuously by speaking a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, and who speaks in the name of other gods, then that prophet shall die.' ²¹ And if you say {to yourself}, 'How can we know the word that Yahweh has not spoken to him?' ²² [Whenever] what the prophet spoke in the name of Yahweh, the thing does not take place and [does] not come [about], that [is] the thing that Yahweh has not spoken to him. Presumptuously the prophet spoke it; you shall not fear that prophet."
