6AND IF HE WILL COME <THE> LEVITE FROM ONE OF GATES YOUR FROM ALL ISRAEL WHERE HE [WAS] SOJOURNING THERE AND HE WILL COME IN ALL [THE] DESIRE OF SELF HIS TO THE PLACE WHICH HE WILL CHOOSE YAHWEH 6Now if a Levite moves from any town of residence throughout Israel and comes in all earnestness to the place the LORD will choose,

18A PROPHET I WILL RAISE UP FOR <THE> THEM FROM [THE] MIDST OF COUNTRYMEN THEIR LIKE YOU AND I WILL PUT WORDS MY IN MOUTH HIS AND HE WILL SPEAK TO THEM <OBJ.> ALL THAT I WILL COMMAND HIM 18I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers.

The prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.
