“Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken?”
The command to ask neighbors and brothers "what has the LORD answered" and "what has the LORD said" represents the retrieval of genuine prophecy. The contrast between asking about false burdens and asking about true prophecy shows the proper course. The reference to neighbors and brothers suggests community involvement in discernment. The verse suggests that genuine prophetic inquiry involves consultation rather than individual pronouncement.
