Deuteronomy 18:2
Context18:2 They 1 will have no inheritance in the midst of their fellow Israelites; 2 the Lord alone is their inheritance, just as he had told them.
Deuteronomy 18:15
Context18:15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you – from your fellow Israelites; 3 you must listen to him.


[18:2] 1 tn Heb “he” (and throughout the verse).
[18:2] 2 tn Heb “brothers,” but not referring to actual siblings. Cf. NASB “their countrymen”; NRSV “the other members of the community.”
[18:15] 3 tc The MT expands here on the usual formula by adding “from among you” (cf. Deut 17:15; 18:18; Smr; a number of Greek texts). The expansion seems to be for the purpose of emphasis, i.e., the prophet to come must be not just from Israel but an Israelite by blood.
