Comentário sobre Deuteronômio 13:3
וּבָ֤א הָאוֹת֙ וְהַמּוֹפֵ֔ת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֥ר אֵלֶ֖יךָ לֵאמֹ֑ר נֵֽלְכָ֞ה אַחֲרֵ֨י אֱלֹהִ֧ים אֲחֵרִ֛ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־יְדַעְתָּ֖ם וְנָֽעָבְדֵֽם׃
não ouvireis as palavras daquele profeta, ou daquele sonhador; porquanto o SENHOR vosso Deus vos está provando, para saber se amais o SENHOR vosso Deus de todo o vosso coração e de toda a vossa alma.
Sforno on Deuteronomy
אשר לא ידעתם, the miracle proving the existence of such a phenomenon seeing you had never heard of its existence. Seeing we do not know the function of the phenomenon makes it more difficult to dismiss the idea that it possesses powers. It is unlike sun and moon whose functions and limitations we know. We know that it is useless to pray to sun and moon, as their obvious limitations are known to us.

Rav Hirsch on Torah
V. 3. ובא וגו׳ אשר דבר וגו׳; es tritt das Zeichen ein, das er dir gegenüber angekündigt hat, um dir damit zu sagen, d. h. um damit seine Aufforderung zu unterstützen. Oder nach ר׳ עקיבא: Wenn ein Prophet aufsteht und hat dir bereits Zeichen und Beweis gegeben, es ist auch bereits eingetroffen das Zeichen und der Beweis, der aber nun zu dir spricht etc. etc.
