Prophetess
VIEW:32 DATA:01-04-2020
PROPHETESS.1. The courtesy title of a prophets wife (Isa_8:3). 2. The OT title of women in whom the promise was fulfilled: your daughters shall prophesy (Joe_2:28; cf. Psa_68:11 RV [Note: Revised Version.] ). The term is of course not to be misunderstood, as if it referred merely to predictions relating to the future: the reference is in general to inspired instruction in moral and religious truth (Driver, Camb. Bible, in loc.) The title is given to Miriam (Exo_15:20), Deborah (Jdg_4:4), Huldah (2Ki_22:14, 2Ch_34:22), and Noadiah (Neh_6:14). 3. The NT gift of prophecy was bestowed on women (Act_21:9, 1Co_11:6). Anna (Luk_2:35) is the only prophetess mentioned by name, except Jezebel (Rev_2:20), who was probably not the wife of the angel of the church (RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ), but a temptress of the Christians at Thyatira to whom was given the name of Israels wicked queen.

prof?et-es (נביאה, nebhı̄'āh; προφῆτις, prophḗtis): Women were not excluded from the prophetic office in the Old Testament, and were honored with the right of prophetic utterance in the New Testament. It should be noted, however, that women like Miriam (Exo_15:20), Deborah (Jdg_4:4) and Huldah (2Ki_22:14) were not credited with the seer's insight into the future, but were called ?prophetesses? because of the poetical inspiration of their speech. Among others mentioned as having the prophetic gift we find Hannah (1Sa_2:1), Anna (Luk_2:36) and the four daughters of Philip (Act_21:8, Act_21:9). See PROPHET.

Prophetess
(נְבַיאָה, nebiah, προφῆτις, Exo_15:20; Luk_2:36). Among the remarkable women who appear to have exercised the gift of prophecy, we find Miriam (Exo_15:20); Deborah; Hannah (1Sa_2:1); Huldah (2Ki_22:14); the wife of Isaiah (Isa_8:3); Anna (Luk_2:36); and the four daughters of Philip (Act_21:8-9). Miriam, Deborah, Huldah, and others were called prophetesses, not because they were supposed to be gifted with a knowledge of futurity, like the seers, but because they possessed a poetical inspiration; and inspired (especially sacred) poetry was always deemed of supernatural and divine origin.
