DEU 18:15-22 New Prophet Law

Law

• YHWH your God will raise up to you a prophet from among you, of your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him. This is according to all that you desired of YHWH your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again YHWH my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.”

• YHWH said to me, “They have well said that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.

• It shall happen, that whoever will not listen to my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

• But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”

• You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which YHWH has not spoken?” When a prophet speaks in YHWH’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which YHWH has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.

Judgement

• But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”
