<p class="bodytext">The <sc>Lordsc> your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you &#8211; from your fellow Israelites;<n id="1" /> you must listen to him.

No prophet ever again arose in Israel like Moses, who knew the <sc>Lordsc> face to face.<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;But if any prophet presumes to speak anything in my name that I have not authorized<n id="1" /> him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die.

whenever a prophet speaks in my<n id="1" /> name and the prediction<n id="2" /> is not fulfilled,<n id="3" /> then I have<n id="4" /> not spoken it;<n id="5" /> the prophet has presumed to speak it, so you need not fear him.&#8221;p>

Suppose a prophet or one who foretells by dreams<n id="1" /> should appear among you and show you a sign or wonder,<n id="2" />

I will raise up a prophet like you for them from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth and he will speak to them whatever I command.

You must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer,<n id="1" /> for the <sc>Lordsc> your God will be testing you to see if you love him<n id="2" /> with all your mind and being.<n id="3" />

As for that prophet or dreamer,<n id="1" /> he must be executed because he encouraged rebellion against the <sc>Lordsc> your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, redeeming you from that place of slavery, and because he has tried to entice you from the way the <sc>Lordsc> your God has commanded you to go. In this way you must purge out evil from within.<n id="2" />p>
