SIBI-P1 H5030-03

the inspired spokesman

Rootנבא (n-b-ʾ)
Core Meaningsto prophesy, to speak forth, to utter under inspiration, inspired speech
Semantic Rangeprophet, inspired spokesman, divinely commissioned messenger, predictor, covenant mediator; occasionally used of false prophets or ecstatic speakers
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Hebrew Scriptures, the נָבִיא is the authorized mouthpiece of YHWH, entrusted with declaring covenant truth, warning, guidance, and future outcomes. The role embodies divine-human communication, emphasizing accountability to the covenant and fidelity to YHWH’s revealed word.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ); no pronominal suffix; functions as a definite title: "the prophet."
Rendering RationaleThe noun נָבִיא derives from the root נבא, "to speak forth under inspiration." Rendering it as "the inspired spokesman" preserves the active, declarative sense of one who speaks on behalf of another (often YHWH). The form is masculine singular with the definite article ("the"), which is reflected in the English rendering.
