Prophets in the Hebrew Bible served as intermediaries between God and humanity, often calling for repentance, delivering divine judgments, and providing guidance and hope. The role of a prophet was both revered and challenging, as they were tasked with speaking truth to power and often faced opposition.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, prophets played a crucial role in society. They were seen as God's spokespersons, and their messages were considered authoritative. Prophets were often called during times of crisis or moral decline to remind the people of their covenant with God. The prophetic tradition was integral to the religious and social fabric of Israel, influencing both the monarchy and the common people. Prophets like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel are well-known for their extensive writings and significant impact on Jewish and Christian theology.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5030.htm">nabi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a prophet<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>prophesied (1), prophet (2), prophets (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">נְבִיא</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>prophet</b></font> (Hebraism? also <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> Syriac;
