Talk:Prophets in Judaism

Spamming this page
Considering the recurring edits that are happening on this page, and considering I am reasonably certain the edit I just made is correct, since I have the cited source open in front of me, it might be worth it to lock this page to further edits for a while.

 * I agree. In last week many unwanted edits happened to this article. Wikipedia should lock this page. Mehediabedin (talk) 07:41, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

who is Aisling prophet of Carmel?
Searching only finds copies of this page or excerpts from it. Also the list of 48 prophets has 49, and this is the only one without his own wikipedia page — Preceding unsigned comment added by WarrenBurstein (talk • contribs) 22:54, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

not good enough
Reference 4 is obviously copied from some material that the writer of this article did not understand. WHICH glosses give the list of male prophets? Megillah 14a/b only gives prophetesses. I realize a lot of data was chunked in from old works but old works are notoriously outdated, inaccurate and incomplete. Here is one example. 100.15.127.199 (talk) 20:05, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

Editing this page to be like prophets of Islam?
Thoughts on editing this page to be in a table like the Prophets and messengers in Islam page? Looks much better imo Mishael613 (talk) 14:31, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

How many prophets, 46 or 48?
The intro and the first sentence in the section Rabbinic tradition say 48 prophets and 7 prophetesses. The immediately-following list says 46. And then there are 7 prophets to the gentiles, it's not clear how those should be counted.

Rashi says "two [of the prophets] I don't know," presumably accounting for the missing two. Other sources identify the missing two prophets as Oded and Hanani Haroeh.

Meanwhile the Table of prophets of Abrahamic religions page lists 69.

I suggest that this ought to be clarified as the article as-is is very confusing. Czetie (talk) 09:31, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
