The "ecstatics" of Mari were idol-worshipers who spoke in the name of multiple gods. The Hebrew prophets, on the other hand, were unwaveringly monotheistic.

The distinction between major and minor prophets is purely based on the length of their book. Isaiah, Jermiah, and Ezekiel are the major prophets whose books are quite lengthy. In fact Isaiah has the longest book in the Bible by number of chapters. Then there are the minor prophets Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habbakuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. These prophets have much shorter books. Major and minor prophets are not distinguished because of their mesage, importance, or by who they were. They were divided this way because of the lenght of their book.
Habakkuk was a prophet in the Hebrew Bible. He is one of the twelve minor prophets and his book contains his conversations with God about the injustices of the world.
The difference between a "major prophet" and a "minor prophet" is their scope, not their significance. The "minor prophets" in the Bible see only the events that are coming to the "specific nation" they are assigned to. The "major prophets" see events coming upon not only their nation "but the nations of the world---world events. http://www.faithwriters.com/article-details.php?id=35862 Zehaniah, a 'minor' prophet says in 3:8 "Therefore wait for Me," declares the LORD, "For the day when I rise up as a witness. Indeed, My decision is to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them My indignation, All My burning anger; For all the earth will be devoured By the fire of My zeal. Seems to me he is addressing 'the nations f the world' but is a 'minor' prophets. **The initial difference written above is inaccurate, because how do you explain Joel's prophecy about the Holyghost in Joel 2:28, 29? And Joel is considered a minor prophet. So I will stick with the difference being in the length of their prophecies.
"Prophets" is written in Hebrew as "נביאים".
There is no difference. The priests (Kohanim) must observe the Torah like every other Jew. There is a misconception that the prophets were not in favor of the sacrifices. This is a mere theory and flies in the face of Jewish tradition. The prophets themselves offered sacrifices on a number of occasions. The verses that are twisted by those who quote them in an attempt to theorize a lack of enthusiasm for sacrifice, actually mean that doing God's will is foremost; and if we obey God, sin-offerings will be obviated.
