This article explores the tradition of female prophets in the Old Testament utilizing Isaiah’s woman (Isa. 8.1-4) as a case study. First, it discusses the general evidence for a female prophetic tradition in the Old Testament, locating it in the broader ancient Near East context. It then focuses on examples of women prophets within the Old Testament to demonstrate the role of female prophets in shaping national life and politics despite the gender limitations of women in ancient Israelite society. Following this broader discussion, a case study of Isaiah’s wife is presented to explore her function and role as a prophet. In particular, the role of hannevi’ah as a possible mother within the prophetic guild is examined. Finally, the implications for the Pentecostal community are considered, focusing on retrieving the role of prophetic mothers to function alongside prophetic fathers.

旧约中的女性先知传统:以赛亚女人的案例研究(以赛亚书 8.1-4)
本文以以赛亚的女人(以赛亚书 8.1-4)为例,探讨旧约中女先知的传统。首先,它讨论了旧约中女性先知传统的一般证据,将其置于更广泛的古代近东背景中。然后,它侧重于旧约中女性先知的例子,以展示女性先知在塑造国家生活和政治方面的作用,尽管古代以色列社会中的女性存在性别限制。在这个更广泛的讨论之后,以赛亚的妻子的案例研究被呈现出来,以探索她作为先知的功能和角色。特别是hannevi'ah的作用作为先知公会中可能的母亲进行检查。最后,考虑了对五旬节社区的影响,重点是恢复先知母亲的角色,与先知父亲一起发挥作用。
