The English word "prophetess" is used 6 times in the Old Testament (Exodus 15:20; Judges 4:4; 2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chronicles 34:22; Nehemiah 6:14; and Isaiah 8:3).

Miriam, Deborah, and Huldah are specifically named as prophetesses.

Anna, in Luke 2:36, is the only woman described as a prophetess of God in the New Testament; however, in Revelation 2:20, Jesus speaks of a woman in the Church at Thyatire named "Jezebel" who called herself a prophetess and was a false teacher.
