Deuteronomy 18:15-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ The Lord your God will give you a prophet like me. He will be one of your own people. Listen to him. ¹⁶ This is what you asked the Lord your God to do. You were gathered at Mount Sinai. You said, “Don’t make us listen to the voice of the Lord our God again. Don’t make us look at this terrible fire anymore. We will die.”

¹⁷ So the Lord said to me, “What they have said is good. ¹⁸ So I will give them a prophet like you. He will be one of their own people. I will tell him what to say. And he will tell them everything I command. ¹⁹ This prophet will speak for me. Anyone who does not listen when he speaks will answer to me.
