And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?

Verse 21 is found in chapter 18 of Deuteronomy. Israel must not imitate divination, sorcery, human sacrifice, or consultation with the dead among the nations. In contrast, God promises to raise up prophets from among Israel to communicate his word. The criterion of revelation changes radically: the people must not seek to control the future through occult techniques, but listen to the word God chooses to communicate through his prophets.

Ob du aber in deinem Herzen sagen würdest: Wie kann ich merken, welches Wort der HERR nicht geredet hat?
Y si dijeres en tu corazón: ¿Cómo conoceremos la palabra que Jehová no hubiere hablado?
Si dices en tu corazón: “¿Cómo reconoceremos la palabra que Jehová no ha hablado?”,
Peut-être diras-tu dans ton coeur: Comment connaîtrons-nous la parole que l'Eternel n'aura point dite?
E se tu dici nel cuor tuo: Come conosceremo la parola che il Signore non avrà detta?
E, se disseres no teu coração: Como conhecerei a palavra que o SENHOR não falou?
你心裏若說:『我們怎能知道那話是耶和華未曾吩咐的呢?』
