Verse 14. God, who has already informed thee how to proceed in difficult emergencies, (Calmet. 17:8,) by having recourse to the council of priests, and will also, after any death, send in due time a succession of true prophets. Hebrew “God hath not suffered thee” to imitate those nations; ( Bible.) or those prophets, whom the Lord thy God will give thee, shall not resemble these ( Calmet.) soothsayers (or observers of times) and diviners. Bible.—They shall be filled with my spirit. Calmet.
