or one who castsh2266 a spellh2267,  aor a mediumh7592h178, or a spiritisth3049, or one who callsh1875 up the deadh4191.

12

"For whoeverh3605 doesh6213a theseh428 thingsh428 is detestableh8441 to the LORDh3068; and  abecauseh1558 of theseh428 detestableh8441 thingsh8441 the LORDh3068 your Godh430 will driveh3423 them out beforeh4480h6440 you.

13

aYou shall be  1blamelessh8549 beforeh5973 the LORDh3068 your Godh430.

14

"For thoseh428 nationsh1471, whichh834 you shall dispossessh3423, listenh8085 to those who  apracticeh6049a witchcrafth6049a and to divinersh7080, but as for you, the LORDh3068 your Godh430 has not allowedh5414 you to do soh3651.

15

aThe LORDh3068 your Godh430 will raiseh6965 up for you a propheth5030 likeh3644 me from amongh7130 you, from your  1countrymenh251, you shall listenh8085 to him.

16

"This is  aaccording to allh3605 that you askedh7592 of the LORDh3068 your Godh430 in Horebh2722 on the dayh3117 of the assemblyh6951, sayingh559, `Let me not hearh8085 againh3254 the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068 my Godh430, let me not seeh7200 thish2088 greath1419 fireh784 anymoreh5750, orh3808 I will dieh4191.'

17

aThe LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, `They have  1spokenh1696 wellh3190.

18

`I will raiseh6965 up a propheth5030 from amongh7130 their  1countrymenh251 likeh3644 you, and  aI will puth5414 My wordsh1697 in his mouthh6310, and  bhe shall speakh1696 to them allh3605 that I commandh6680 him.

19

aIt shall comeh1961 about that whoeverh376h834 will not listenh8085 to My wordsh1697 whichh834 he shall speakh1696 in My nameh8034, I Myselfh595 will requireh1875 it of him.

20

`But the propheth5030 whoh834 speaksh1696 a wordh1697  apresumptuouslyh2102 in My nameh8034 whichh834 I have not commandedh6680 him to speakh1696, or  bwhichh834 he speaksh1696 in the nameh8034 of otherh312 godsh430,  1that propheth5030 shall dieh4191.'

21

1You may sayh559 in your hearth3824, `Howh351a will we knowh3045 the wordh1697 whichh834 the LORDh3068 has not spokenh1696?'

22

aWhenh834 a propheth5030 speaksh1696 in the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068, if the thingh1697 does not comeh1961 about or comeh935 true, that is the thingh1697 whichh834 the LORDh3068 has not spokenh1696. The propheth5030 has spokenh1696 it  bpresumptuouslyh2087; you shall not be afraidh1481c of him.
