Verse 7

GOD SENDS ISRAEL A PROPHET

"And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto Jehovah, because of Midian, that Jehovah sent a prophet unto the children of Israel: and he said unto them, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage; and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land; And I said unto you, I am Jehovah your God; ye shall not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell. But ye have not hearkened unto my voice."

"These words summarize once more the injunctions of Exodus 34:10-16 and Deuteronomy 7:lff."[6] We have frequently noted that the entire O.T. (following the Pentateuch) is written in the shadow of the Five Books of Moses, providing undeniable certainty for the Biblical chronology of its 39 books. Satan's lie to Eve, stating that, "Ye shall not surely die," is no greater falsehood than the unbelieving denials alleging a so-called late date for the Pentateuch!

We are not given the name of the prophet who thus reminded Israel that their shameful humiliation was the very result that they should have expected because of their disobedience of the Divine injunctions.
