Strong's Lexicon nebiah: Prophetess Original Word: נְבִיאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root נָבָא (naba), meaning "to prophesy" or "to speak by divine inspiration." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4398 (προφῆτις, prophētis): Refers to a female prophet or prophetess in the New Testament, such as Anna in Luke 2:36. Usage: The term "nebiah" refers to a female prophet, a woman who is divinely inspired to communicate God's messages to His people. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfem. of nabi Definition a prophetess NASB Translation prophetess (6).
