Prophets announced the will of God to the people, fulfilled their supernatural mission and had a real influence on the institutions responsible for the functioning of the state. the hebrew bible also speaks explicitly about the calling of prophetesses. this tradition was developed and discussed in detail in the talmudic tractate Megilla (14a-15a). the rabbis gave this title to seven women: Sarah, Miriam, Deborah, Anna, Awigail, huldah and esther. this article aims to present and discuss aspects of their lives and the message that resulted in giving them the title of “prophetess”.

Prorocy przekazujący ludowi wolę Boga pełnili swoją nadprzyrodzoną misję i mieli realny wpływ na instytucje odpowiadające za funkcjonowanie państwa. Biblia Hebrajska mówi również explicite o powołaniu prorokiń. Tradycja ta została rozwinięta i szczegółowo omówiona w talmudycznym traktacie Megilla (14a-15a). Rabini tytuł ten przyznali siedmiu kobietom: Sara, Miriam, Debora, Anna, Abigail, Chulda i Estera. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu zaprezentowanie oraz omówienie aspektów z ich życia oraz przesłania, które przełożyły się na nadanie im tytułu „prorokini”.

Isidore’s treatise De ortu et obitu patrum (On the Lifes and Deathes of the Fathers) contains biographies of outstanding biblical figures from Adam to Titus. Among them there are four women, to which the bishop of Seville dedicates spe­cial chapters. These are Esther, Judith, John Baptist’s mother Elisabeth and Mary, Mother of Jesus. He also mentions 26 women while presenting famous biblical patriarchs, judges, kings and prophets. Mothers and grandmothers, sisters and daughters, wives and widows participate in different important biblical events, support men on their way to salvation, as well as lead them to the moral fall and suffer because of it. Except four above mentioned heroins, Isidore describes bibli­cal women very superficially, giving only those details of their lifes and characters that help him to introduce his male heroes. Although the erudite bishop admires the virtue both in men as well as in women and hates the sin regardless of the sin­ner’s sex, it seems that he considers the history of Salvation to be the history of relations between God and mankind represented first of all by a man. In Isidore’s feeling it is the latter who is responsible before the Lord not only for himself, but for the whole world and for a woman as well.
