A Jewish tradition suggests that there were 600,000 male and 600,000 female prophets. Judaism recognizes the existence of 48 male prophets who bequeathed permanent messages to mankind.[http://www.shamash.org/lists/scj-faq/HTML/faq/12-11.html] According to the [[Talmud]] there were also seven women who are counted as prophets whose message bears relevance for all generations: [[Sarah]], [[Miriam]], [[Devorah]], [[Hannah (given name)|Hannah]] (mother of the ''prophet'' [[Samuel (Bible)|Samuel]]), [[Abigail]] (a wife of [[King David]]), [[Huldah]] (from the time of [[Jeremiah (prophet)|Jeremiah]]), and [[Esther]]. There were, of course, other women who functioned as prophets, and the last prophet mentioned in the Bible, [[Noahdiah]] ([[Nehemiah]] 6:14) was a woman.
