Primitive and Classical Prophecy

Ephraimite Prophecy-This line runs from the Elohist narrative strand in the Penteteuch,deemed to have originated in the kingdom of Samaria,through prophetic and Levitical groups that opposed the monarchy throughout the history of the same kingdom,then to Hosea,Jeremiah,and the Deuteronomic program.Gave pride of place to Moses as the first and paradigmatic prophet mediator.

Judean Prophecy-First attested during the reign of David in the persons of Gad and Nathan,it was taken up by Amos,Isaiah,and other preexilic,exilic,and postexilic figures in the Latter Prophets with the exception of Hosea and Jeremiah.Characterized by support of the Davidic monarchy and emphasis on Jerusalem.

Nabi-From the Hebrew root meaning "to bubble forth,as from a fountain",hence "to utter".This Hebrew word is the first and the most generally used for a prophet.

Justice and Righteousness-These twinned concepts (Hebrew mispat,sedaqa) connote the maintenance of right order,of societal structures,and judicial procedures respectful of the rights of all classes.The critical prophet is saying that a society that neglects that order,even one in which religious practice flourishes,does not deserve to survive.
