Deuteronomy 18:13 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Deuteronomy 18:13

11 ^aor ^bone who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.

12 For all who do these things are¹ an abomination to the Lord, and ^abecause of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you.

13 You shall be blameless before the Lord your God.

14 For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not¹ appointed such for you.

A New Prophet Like Moses

15 ^a“The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear,

16 according to all you desired of the Lord your God in Horeb ^ain the day of the assembly, saying, ^b‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, nor let me see this great fire anymore, lest I die.’

THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE NATIONS ARE TO BE AVOIDED. (Deuteronomy 18:9-14)

thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations—(See on Leviticus 18:21; Leviticus 19:26; Leviticus 19:31; Leviticus 20:4). In spite of this express command, the people of Canaan, especially the Philistines, were a constant snare and stumbling block to the Israelites, on account of their divinations and superstitious practices.
