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.

Malachi's full name was Ezra Ha'Sofer (the scribe), and he was the last prophet of Israel if one accepts the opinion that Nechemyah died in Babylon before 9th Tevet 3448 (313 BCE). {{Citation | title = Babylonian Talmud | first = Vilna Gaon | volume = San.11a, Yom.9a/Yuch.1.14/Kuz.3.39,65,67/Yuch.1/Mag.Av.O.C.580.6}}
