[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/P/prophet/#m3) ### sense in the lessons In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah a prophet is a person who speaks for God. Aaron is Moses' "prophet" when he speaks for Moses to Pharaoh. In the Prophets it names the men, such as Habakkuk, whose books we read, and also groups of prophets, as in "Is Saul also among the prophets?" Interpretation: Tradition says Moses was the greatest prophet, who spoke with God "face to face". A prophet who urged worshiping other gods had to be rejected even if he did wonders. The books of the later prophets are read as God's messages of warning and comfort to Israel. In the primary lessons: In religious education it is used for figures in Judaism, Christianity and Islam (Moses, Isaiah, Muhammad). In everyday life «a prophet of doom» is someone who always predicts bad things. In stories prophets warn kings and heroes. ### examples - And there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face; (Torah DEU.34.10, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/P/prophet/#x1) - And the LORD said unto Moses: 'See, I have set thee in God's stead to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
