The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet...like unto me (Deut. 18:15)

"Me" refers to Moses, the narrator. It is significant that whereas magicians and diviners were a class apart, regarded as possessing special secret knowledge, which they guarded jealously, the prophet would share divine revelation openly and for the common benefit.
