Activity 2: Definition of a Prophet
"Studies of words are interesting
but do not necessarily throw light on the actual function of a person designated by a
particular word. Our English word "prophet" comes to us from the Greek word prophetes,
which literally means one who speaks for another, especially a deity. The
corresponding Hebrew term is nabī',
which is apparently related to the Akkadian verb, nabū, meaning "to call,
to announce, to name."
There is some uncertainty, however, as to whether the Hebrew form has an
active meaning ("one who calls, an announcer") or a passive meaning ("one
who is called"). In the former case, the emphasis would be on the role of the prophet
to proclaim a message; in the latter, the stress would be on the prophet's vocation to be
a messenger in the service of the deity. Both views are relevant for understanding
Israelite prophecy, but one would have to turn to particular biblical texts to see how
prophets actually function in different situations. In any case, the term refers to one
who communicates the divine will. The prophet is an intermediary, a spokesperson - one who
acts and speaks on behalf of Another."
