Contextual Overview

¹⁵ The Lord your God will give you a prophet like me, who is one of your own people. Listen to him. ¹⁶ This is what you asked the Lord your God to do when you were gathered at Mount Sinai. You said, "Don't make us listen to the voice of the Lord our God again, and don't make us look at this terrible fire anymore, or we will die." ¹⁷ So the Lord said to me, "What they have said is good. ¹⁸ So I will give them a prophet like you, who is one of their own people. I will tell him what to say, and he will tell them everything I command. ¹⁹ This prophet will speak for me; anyone who does not listen when he speaks will answer to me. ²⁰ But if a prophet says something I did not tell him to say as though he were speaking for me, or if a prophet speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must be killed." ²¹ You might be thinking, "How can we know if a message is not from the Lord ?" ²² If what a prophet says in the name of the Lord does not happen, it is not the Lord 's message. That prophet was speaking his own ideas. Don't be afraid of him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But the prophet which shall presume to speak in my name,.... Pretending a mission and commission from God, and yet was never sent by him, like the prophets in Jeremiah 23:21,

which I have not commanded him to speak; which though true was not to be spoken in a public manner, by assuming a public office, without a divine authority or a commission from God, and much less what was false, and never commanded to be spoken at all by any:

or, that shall speak in the name of other gods; the idols of the people, as the Targum; as if any should affirm they were sent by Jove, or inspired by Apollo, as some are said to prophesy by Baal, as if they had received their orders and instructions from him, and were inspired by him, Jeremiah 2:8

even that prophet shall die; the Targum of Jonathan is, be killed by the sword, but the Jews q generally interpret it of strangling.
