Exegesis
The pronoun hu {ה֣וּא | hū} ‘it’ refers back to hadavar {הַדָּבָר֙ | had-dā-wār} ‘the thing’ for emphatic repetition.
In context — Deuteronomy 18:22
When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD and the matter does not come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously ; you shall not fear him.
