Biblical prophetism has been equated to different so-called prophetic manifestations in the ancient Near East. One of the most important is found in Mari letters. These letters are considered by many authors as the origin of biblical prophetism. This article is part one of a two-part paper. In this first part, the description of biblical prophetism, its nature, and features, are developed in order to understand the basics of the prophetic phenomena. The terminology used by the Scriptures is described in order to find out the nature of the biblical prophets. In the next article, the same is done with Mari letters and a comparison is offered between these two records in order to establish their relationship, similarities, and differences.
