While the question asks for "3 major prophets," the reference states that the major prophets include Jeremiah, Isaiah, Daniel, and Ezekiel. Therefore, a list of 3 is not available from the reference and the request is somewhat incomplete. Here is a list of the 4 major prophets:
The Major Prophets of the Old Testament
The term "major prophets" refers to a collection of books in the Christian Old Testament, specifically those attributed to the prophets:
| Prophet | Notes |
|---|---|
| Isaiah | Known for his prophecies concerning the Messiah and God's judgment. |
| Jeremiah | Called the "weeping prophet" due to his lament over Israel's sins. |
| Ezekiel | A priest and prophet who emphasized God's holiness and judgment. |
| Daniel | Served in the courts of Babylon and Persia, known for visions and prophecies. |
These four books are grouped together as "major" not because they are considered more important than the "minor prophets," but because their books are significantly longer. The term and grouping are specific to the Christian Old Testament and do not exist in the Hebrew Bible. All of these books are traditionally regarded as authored by the respective prophets.
