15 "Yahweh your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your midst, from your countrymen, [and] to him you shall listen.

16 [This is] {according to all that you asked} from Yahweh your God at Horeb, on the day of the assembly, {saying}, '{I do not want again to hear} the voice of Yahweh my God, [and] I do not want to see again this great fire, so that I may not die!'
