In the Hebrew Bible, prophetesses played significant roles in guiding, instructing, and sometimes leading the people of Israel. They were recognized for their spiritual insight and ability to convey God's will.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, prophets were seen as God's spokespersons, and their role was crucial in maintaining the spiritual and moral direction of the nation. While the majority of prophets mentioned in the Bible are male, several women are recognized as prophetesses, indicating that God’s call to deliver His message transcended gender. These women often held positions of respect and influence within their communities.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a
