The Promise to Send a Prophet

¹⁴ Then Moses said, “In the land you are about to occupy, people follow the advice of those who practice divination and look for omens, but the Lord your God does not allow you to do this. ^15 (A)Instead, he will send you a prophet like me from among your own people, and you are to obey him.^[a]

¹⁶ “On the day that you were gathered at Mount Sinai, you begged not to hear the Lord speak again or to see his fiery presence any more, because you were afraid you would die.
