Neviim

Neviʾim, meaning “Prophets,” designates the second major division of the Hebrew Bible. It includes both narrative books that recount Israel’s history from conquest to exile and prophetic books that preserve speeches and writings attributed to prophetic figures. Neviʾim focuses on leadership, covenant responsibility, justice, and response to crisis, presenting prophecy as interpretation of events rather than prediction alone. The section functions as a bridge between foundational narrative and later writings, shaping how history is read through prophetic critique and instruction.
