Bible in Basic English
"In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me."
— Deuteronomy 18:16, Bible in Basic English
“According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.”
“This is according to all that you desired of Yahweh your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, "Let me not hear again the voice of Yahweh my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die."”
“This accords with what happened at Horeb in the day of the assembly. You asked the LORD your God:“Please do not make us hear the voice of the LORD our God any more or see this great fire any more lest we die.””
You are to be upright in heart before the Lord your God.
For these nations, whose land you are taking, give attention to readers of signs and to those using secret arts: but the Lord your God will not let you do so.
The Lord your God will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to him;
In answer to the request you made to the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the great meeting, when you said, Let not the voice of the Lord my God come to my ears again, and let me not see this great fire any more, or death will overtake me.
Then the Lord said to me, What they have said is well said.
I will give them a prophet from among themselves, like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will say to them whatever I give him orders to say.
And whoever does not give ear to my words which he will say in my name, will be responsible to me.
