Introduction to Deuteronomy 18-24
Chapter 18
The words of Moses: The priests shall eat the offerings made
by fire. You shall not practice divination. The LORD will raise up a prophet like
me from among you.
Why are prophets needed?
Because Israel demanded an intermediary at Sinai.
The prophet of God must not:
Practice sorcery or divination
Say God said something that God didn’t say
Speak in the name of other gods
The test of a true prophet:
If what the prophet says does not come true, he must have been lying

Chapter 19
The words of Moses: Set aside three cities so that anyone
who kills accidentally may flee there. A matter must be established by two or
three witnesses.
The words of Moses: When you go to war, do not be afraid;
the LORD is with you. As you go to attack a city, offer terms, except to the
cities of the land.
The words of Moses: If a dead body is found, the city elders
must cleanse the guilt. Give your eldest son his portion. A rebellious son
shall be stoned.
Chapter 22
The words of Moses: If you find your neighbor's ox you shall
return it. If a man falsely claims that his new wife was not a virgin he shall
be punished.
Chapter 23
The words of Moses: No Ammonite shall enter the assembly of
the LORD. When you go out to war the camp must be holy. Be careful to do what
you have vowed.
The words of Moses: If a man divorces his wife he must not
remarry her. Do not withhold wages. Leave the gleanings of your harvest for
widows and orphans.
