  • People who are considered Nebi'im (prophets) in Judaism according to the Talmud , even if they are not expressly named as such in the Bible: These are marked in italics , the biblical passage where they were first mentioned is indicated.
  • Books of the Tanakh called "prophets". The “front” (written) and “back” (scriptural) prophets in the Tanakh are listed in the order of their appearance according to the Jewish Bible canon .
  • New Testament prophets are listed alphabetically.
  • Biblical persons identified as “false prophets” are not listed.

Tanach or Old Testament (AT)

This article or section needs revision: Is Uriah Front or Back Prophet? Furthermore, a comparison with the template: Linkbox Nevi'im is necessary, since neither the books Jeremiah, Esther nor the books of the Chronicle are mentioned there for the fore prophets.
