Like unto me (hōs eme). As me, literally; Moses (Deu 18:14-18) claims that God raised him up as a prophet and that another and greater one will come, the Messiah. The Jews understood Moses to be a type of Christ (Joh 1:21). God spoke to Moses face to face (Exo 33:11) and he was the greatest of the prophets (Deu 34:10).
