Here is a summary of the passage in 3-4 concise sentences: The Israelites are promised a future prophet who will speak on God's behalf, with words that are authoritative and commanded by Him. This prophet will be like Moses, speaking directly from God's mouth, and their words must be followed or face consequences. To ensure authenticity, God warns against false prophets who may speak in His name without permission. The Israelites can trust a true prophet if the predicted events do not come to pass, as that would indicate the prophet spoke presumptuously.

'''Back to [[Bible Topic from Genesis to Revelation]]''' '''Back to [['Deuteronomy]]''' ---- Deut 18:15: The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; Deut 18:16: According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. Deut 18:17: And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. Deut 18:18: I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. Deut 18:19: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. Deut 18:20: But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. Deut 18:21: And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? Deut 18:22: When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
