In Christian usage, the Prophets or Prophetical Books are the Latter Prophets, with the addition of Daniel (which in the Hebrew canon is placed among the Hagiographa); they are subdivided into Major Prophets, namely Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel, and Minor Prophets, namely the twelve from Hosea to Malachi. The Old Testament Scriptures or their content are frequently (esp. in the New Testament, though now rarely) referred to as the Law and the Prophets or Moses and the Prophets.extracted from prophetn.< as lemmas |
