Hebrew/Greek. Your Content. Exodus 15:20-26. King James Version. 20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. 21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
The same, it is highly probable, that is called the sister of Moses, Exodus 2:3, her name Miriam is the same as Mary with us, and signifies bitterness; and, as the Hebrews (x) observe, had it from the bitterness of the times, and the afflictions the Israelites endured and groaned under when she was born; which is a much more probable ...

The first prophetess mentioned in the Old Testament is Miriam (Exodus 15:20-21; Numbers 12:1-15; 20:1; 26:59; Deuteronomy 24:9; Micah 6:4). She was the sister of Aaron and Moses. Their father was Amram (1 Chronicles 6:1-3). Miriam was the oldest of the three (Exodus 2:1-4). For more information about her age, visit “What is the relationship of Mose...
The next prophetess mentioned in Scripture is Deborah (Judges 4:4-5:15). She was the wife of Lappidoth and a judge of Israel. Judges 4:4-7 describes Deborah’s communication with Barak in which she told him that God wanted him to wage war against Sisera, the commander of the Canaanite army. Judges 4:8-9 states that she went with Barak after he asked...
The prophetess Huldah appears in only two passages. The first is 2 Kings 22:14. Here we learn that she was the wife of Shallum. Huldah was important because she provided guidance to King Josiah after “the book of the law” was found (2 Kings 22:8-13). After the law was found, the king asked Hilkiah, the high priest, to give him advice. Consequently,...
Noadiah, the prophetess, is found only one time in Scripture and that is in Nehemiah 6:14. In Nehemiah 6:10 we are told that Shemaiah had warned Nehemiah that Sanballat had planned to murder him. Then Shemaiah urged Nehemiah to flee to the temple for protection. But according to Nehemiah 6:12-14, Nehemiah knew he was liar. Nehemiah 6:12-14 then rev...
The wife of Isaiah was also a prophetess according to Isaiah 8:3. Here is Isaiah 8:3-4. Some believers may be disappointed that God decided to not reveal her name. But this is an important lesson for everyone. The opportunity to serve the Lord in any capacity is not an opportunity for self-aggrandizement. Our names do not need to be mentioned in th...
The prophetess Anna appears only in Luke 2:36-38. The events described in these verses occurred after Mary and Joseph arrived in the temple for the dedication of Jesus. This prophetess was the daughter of Phanuel. She had been married for seven years and then her husband died. She remained a widow until the age of eighty-four. All that time she fai...
Acts 21:8-9 introduces us to four virgin daughters who were prophetesses. Just as God did not give us the name of Isaiah’s wife, who was a prophetess, God does not give us the names of these four virgin daughters. In summary, we have discovered that there were prophetesses of God who were virgins, some were married, and others who were widows. Some...
The final prophetess mentioned in Scripture is named Jezebel. She appears in Revelation 2:20. We do not believe the name Jezebel was the real name of this false prophetess. Not only was she a false teacher, notice that she also falsely called herself a prophetess. She was not a prophetess of God. Jezebel describes the spiritual character of the wom...
We have discovered that the nine true prophetesses mentioned in Scripture ranged in age from their youth up to eighty-four years of age. Some were virgins, some were married and one was a widow. They appear in both the Old and New Testaments. It is obvious that God used women who were willing to serve Him regardless of age or marital status. But wh...
She offers to get a Hebrew nursemaid for the baby, and fetches none other than Moses’s — and her — mother. Throughout this episode, Miriam, like her mother, is not given a name; she is merely the sister of the boy in the basket.
