Strong's Lexicon nebi: Prophet Original Word: נְבִיא Word Origin: Derived from the root נָבָא (naba), meaning "to prophesy" or "to speak by divine inspiration." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4396 (προφήτης, prophētēs): The Greek equivalent for "prophet," used in the New Testament to describe those who speak forth by divine inspiration. Usage: The term "nebi" refers to a prophet, an individual chosen by God to deliver His messages to the people. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
