Psalm 139:8 (KJV),

The word הַנְּבִיאָ֜ה (the prophetess) occurs 5 times …
I am struck that these words/concepts are used frequently in the New Testament by speakers (Jesus and Paul among others, including Romans 4:20), who would have been (presumably) speaking/thinking in Aramaic/Hebrew, and approaching their th…
