Deuteronomy 18:16-20

A New Prophet like Moses

¹⁶ just as you desired of the Lord your God at Horeb _g on the day of the assembly, when you said, _h 'Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.' ¹⁷ And the Lord said to me, _i 'They are right in what they have spoken. ¹⁸ _f I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. _j And I will put my words in his mouth, and _k he shall speak to them all that I command him. ¹⁹ _l And whoever will _m not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. ²⁰ _n But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or ₁ who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.'
