Exegesis
The dative lekha {לְךָ | ləḵā} ‘for you’ personalizes the promise, while elav {אֵלָיו | ʼêlāyv} ‘to him’ highlights the prophet’s mediatorial function.
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 .
