prophetsJNS

Prophets are like the spokesmen for God and they are chosen to teach the people his message. Scripture is the writing of God's words by the prophets. Moses is said to be the greatest prophet by the Jews, because he had more revelation than all the others combined. The Talmud (Jewish oral tradition interpreting the Torah) teaches that there were thousands of prophets but most of their work was not recorded in scripture because it was meant for their current generation.
