Exegesis
This verse begins with the predicate noun navi {נָבִיא | nāwî} ‘prophet’, followed by two parallel prepositional phrases, miqqirbekha {מִקִּרְבְּךָ | miqqərbəḵā} ‘from your midst’ and me’aħekha {מֵאַחֶיךָ | mē’āḥêḵā} ‘from your brothers’, that specify the prophet’s origin.
In context — Deuteronomy 18:15
The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet—one from among you, from your brothers—like me; to him you must listen .
