1.1Præfatio Hæc interpretatio Hieronymi est. Si quid in ea moverit, secundum Hebræos codices exploretur. Alia est Septuaginta interpretum Ecclesiis usitata: quæ, quamvis nonnulla aliter habeat quam in Hebræis codicibus invenitur, tamen utraque, id est secundum Septuaginta et secundum Hebræam, apostolica auctoritate firmata est. Non errore neque reprehensione superiori, sed certo consilio Septuaginta nonnulla aliter dixisse vel contexisse intelliguntur. Quod ideo præmonemus, ne quisquam alteram ex altera velit emendare: quod singulorum in suo genere veritas observanda est. Argumentum Incipit Jeremias Anathotites, qui est viculus tribus a Hierosolymis distans millibus, apud Thamnas in Ægypto a populo lapidibus obrutus occubuit. Jacet vero in eo loco sepultus, quo dudum Pharao rex habitaverat.

1:1-19 Jeremiah’s call is presented as a conversation; God spoke as a king to Jeremiah. Jeremiah’s objections show that he understood himself clearly. God responded to his objections with promises and compelling visions.
If you ask someone today what biblical prophets did, they will likely tell you that they divinely foretold of future events. While this was often the case, most prophets in the Bible focused as much on “forthtelling” God’s messages as they did on “foretelling” the future. That is, their primary role was to simply “forthtell” divinely acquired messages to leaders and groups of people, and at times that included foretelling of coming judgment, blessing, rescue, etc. Also, though plenty of prophets (sometimes called “seers” in Scripture) often spoke in confrontational or eccentric language that put them at odds with kings and religious leaders, the biblical writers also applied the term prophet to people who communicated God’s messages in ways that many readers today might not think of as prophecy, such as worship leaders appointed by David to “prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals” (1 Chronicles 25:1). Similarly, the books of Joshua, Judges, 1 & 2 Samuel, and 1 & 2 Kings are typically categorized as history by Christians, but in the Hebrew canon they belong to the category of Former Prophets. The Lord raised up prophets throughout all of biblical history, from the giving of the law under Moses to the revelation of the last days by the apostle John, and the kings of Israel and Judah often recognized and supported specific people as official prophets of the royal court and consulted them to find out God’s perspective about official matters. Following is a list of nearly everyone designated as prophet or seer in the Old Testament and the primary area of their ministry.
