EXTRA · Side-ring · Parashas Shoftim · Passuk 18:14
For these nations that you are dispossessing listen to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Eternal your God has not given you thus.
Chazal / classical source (beyond TT-numbered main-ring units): Sifrei Devarim 173 / Ramban related.
Lemma: לֹא כֵן נָתַן לְךָ.
Sefaria — Sifrei Devarim 173 / Ramban related
English: ‘Has not given you thus’ – He has not left you to listen to them.
Derash reading the phrase as a protective gift (Sifrei) — Hashem has withheld from Yisrael the need and the permission to consult diviners.
The fact that Hashem has not given Yisrael the way of the nations is itself a gift: they are not dependent on soothsayers.
