Deuteronomy 18 · Grade 4

The Prophet to Come

Name Date

Read and Think

The Levites received no tribal land because Yahweh was their inheritance. The people supported them with portions of sacrifices and the first fruits of grain, wine, oil, and fleece. Serving God was their full-time work.

The nations of Canaan sought hidden knowledge through divination, fortune telling, sorcery, and calling up the dead. God called these practices abominations. Israel must be blameless and not seek guidance from anyone but God.

Instead, God would speak through prophets. At Horeb the people had begged not to hear God's voice from the fire, so God promised a prophet like Moses, from among their brothers, with God's words in his mouth. A false prophet is shown when his words do not come true. Peter and Stephen both said Jesus is the prophet like Moses (Acts 3:22; 7:37).
