Commento su Deuteronomio 18:17

היטיבו אשר דברו, “they have done well in what they have said.” They did well to believe in the prophet, and therefore I will continue to relate to them by means of prophets in the future, also. It is possible to interpret that when the Israelites undertook to accept Moses as an intermediary and they promised obedience to what he would instruct them to do in the name of Hashem, that Moses here implies that he viewed this as a commitment which would remain in effect for their relationship with future prophets, also.

VV. 17 u. 18 nun noch die fernere Bestimmung zu knüpfen, dass auch nach Mosche Heimgang Gott zu ferneren Mitteilungen an uns Mosche Nachfolger geben werde, die die Überbringer seines Wortes an uns sein sollen. Sie werden ebenso מקרב אחיהם כמוך sein, und werden ebenso von Gott das Wort empfangen, das sie zu sprechen haben.
