Deuteronomy 18:22

18:22 whenever a prophet speaks in my ¹  name and the prediction ²  is not fulfilled, ³  then I have ⁴  not spoken it; ⁵  the prophet has presumed to speak it, so you need not fear him.”

[18:22]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord’s.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

[18:22]  ² tn Heb “the word,” but a predictive word is in view here. Cf. NAB “his oracle.”

[18:22]  ³ tn Heb “does not happen or come to pass.”

[18:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Lord has.” See note on the word “his” in v. 5.

[18:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “that is the word which the Lord has not spoken.”
