(Devarim 18:16) "As all that you asked from the L-rd your G-d in Chorev": By this they merited that prophets arise for them, viz. ( Ibid .) "I shall not continue to hear the voice of the L-rd my G-d." ( Ibid . 17) "And the L-rd said to me: They have done well in speaking as they did.": They have anticipated the "Divine Intelligence," viz. ( Ibid . 18) "A prophet shall I raise up for them": We are hereby taught that as a reward for their fear (of listening to the voice of G-d) they merited that prophets arise for them. ( Ibid .) "and I shall place My words in his mouth": I shall do this, but I shall not speak to him face to face. ("And I shall place My words in his mouth":) From now on, realize that the holy spirit has been placed in the mouth of the prophets. ( Ibid .) "and he shall speak to them (directly)": Do not set up an interpreter for him. "all that I command him": (He will not change the order of My words) — first things first, second things, afterwards.
