Abstract

Let us note that the character of the prophetic office differed distinctly from that of the priestly, though at times combined in one person. It was not, like the priestly, confined to one tribe; however, it did not, in its personnel, extend beyond the covenant people. Balaam might be designated an exception, but he was an enigma as to character. A prophet was not to establish his prophetic office by signs and wonders, for even false prophets might perform these, Deut.13, 1-15, but by his adherence to the Law and testimony of Jehovah.
