The books of the Prophets or Nevi' im form the second part of the Hebraic Bible (Tanakh), after the Pentateuque (Torah) and before the Other Writings (Ktouvim).

The Hebrew name of the Neviim (נביא) comprises another concept that conveyed by the word Prophète , since it means " produire" rather qu'" to bring to the devant".

Jewish tradition

Nevi' im are traditionally divided into two parts:

  • First Prophets ( Nevi' im Rishonim ראשונים - i.e. prophets former to the fall of the First Temple and the exile) whose account extends from Josué to the Kings.

  • Last Prophets ( Nevi' im Aharonim אחרונים - i.e. later prophets with the exile), (containing prophecies in poetic form especially.)

The order of the books of the Judaïsme is included in the Protestantisme.

In the Jewish tradition, the books of Samuel and Kings are not subdivided in two books each one. In addition, the books of the last prophets being relatively short, they are gathered in a work, called Trei 'Assar (Twelve minor prophets), " petit" not referring to their importance but to the length of the writings.
La Jewish tradition thus counts a total of eight books in Nevi' im (among 24 books in all Tanakh):
