37This is the same Moses who told the Israelites, ‘God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers.’
38He was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. And he received living words to pass on to us.
39But our fathers refused to obey him. Instead, they rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
