Deuteronomy 18:11-18

11cast spells, consult a medium or a spiritist, or inquire of the dead.

12Everyone who does these acts is detestable to the Lord, and the Lord your God is driving out the nations before you because of these detestable acts.

13You must be blameless before the Lord your God.

14Though these nations you are about to drive out listen to fortune-tellers and diviners, the Lord your God has not permitted you to do this.

15“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him.

16This is what you requested from the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, ‘Let us not continue to hear the voice of the Lord our God or see this great fire any longer, so that we will not die!’

17Then the Lord said to me, ‘They have spoken well.

18I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.
