Footnotes

  1. 23 The expands here on the usual formula by adding “from among you” (cf. Deut 17:15; 18:18; ; a number of Greek texts). The expansion seems to be for the purpose of emphasis, i.e., the prophet to come must be not just from Israel but an Israelite by blood. “from your brothers,” but not referring to actual siblings. Cf. “from among your own kinsmen”; “from your countrymen”; “from among your own people.” A similar phrase occurs in v. 17.
