Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The institution of prophethood carries the function of the relationship between God and humankind. It is one of the essential institutions in Judaism. According to Judaism, it is not enough to get inspiration from the divine, but, in addition, there is must be divinely order to spread the message. In Judaism Prophet Moses keeps the most privileged place among the Jewish prophets, who preceded and succeeded him. Among the prophets who came before Moses, Torah uses the expression of navi only for Abraham. The prophethood of the other prophets from this period was mentioned in rabbinic sources. Besides, Jewish sources mention that there were prophets from non-Jews in pre-Mosaic period. The sections of Neviim and Ketubim from the Tanah contain the writings of the prophets. Those all were after Moses and followed him in the message. Judaism accepts the woman as prophet; there were seven female prophets. Malachi is the last prophet in Judaism.
