<p> (נְבַיאָה, ''Nebiah, Προφῆτις,'' Exodus 15:20; Luke 2:36). Among the remarkable women who appear to have exercised the gift of prophecy, we find Miriam ( Exodus 15:20); Deborah; Hannah ( 1 Samuel 2:1); Huldah ( 2 Kings 22:14); the wife of Isaiah ( Isaiah 8:3); Anna ( Luke 2:36); and the four daughters of Philip ( Acts 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. (See Prophet). </p> | <p> ( '''''נְבַיאָה''''' , ''Nebiah, '''''Προφῆτις''''' ,'' Exodus 15:20; Luke 2:36).
