Abstract

Prophets announced the will of God to the people, fulfilled their supernatural mission and had a real influence on the institutions responsible for the functioning of the state. the hebrew bible also speaks explicitly about the calling of prophetesses. this tradition was developed and discussed in detail in the talmudic tractate Megilla (14a-15a). the rabbis gave this title to seven women: Sarah, Miriam, Deborah, Anna, Awigail, huldah and esther. this article aims to present and discuss aspects of their lives and the message
that resulted in giving them the title of “prophetess”.

Keywords:

prophetess, Sarah, Miriam, Deborah, Anna, Awigail, huldah, esther
