Nothing too special in the reading today - further emphasis that the
Levites would not have a part in the
inheritance of the Promised Land itself, but that other tribes are to provide for them, and more warnings against imitating the practices of those whom the Israelites would drive out of the land. The most noteworthy thing here is the promise that more
prophets of the Lord would arise, like Moses, to speak to the people. This came with a warning to heed their words, and a test to ensure that they spoke what God wished: any predictions that truly came from God would come true, so if anything was said that did come to pass it would give away a false prophet.
