e Yoma, 86 a; T. d. El. R., XXIV; Maimonides, _H. Teshubah_, X; Crescas: _Or Adonai_, I, 3. Comp. _Testaments Twelve Patriarchs_, Simeon 3, 4; Issachar, 5; Philo: Quod omnis probus liber, 12 and elsewhere. 72 Song of Songs VII, 6, 7. 73 See Sifre Deut. XXVI, 8; Sanh. X, 1; J. E., art. Revelation; Dillmann, 61 f.; Geiger, D. Jud. u. s. Gesch. I, 34 f. 74 See Deut. XIII, 2-6, where prophet forms a parallel to dreamer of dreams. God appears in a dream to Abraham (Gen. XV, 1, 12), to Abimelek (Gen. XX, 3, 6), to Jacob (XXVIII, 12; XXXI, 11; XLVI, 2), to Laban (XXXI, 24), to Balaam (Num. XXIV, 3), and to Eliphaz (Job IV, 3-6). Dream-like visions open the prophetic career of Moses (Exod. III, 3-6), Samuel (I Sam. III, 1, 15, 21), Isaiah (Is. VI, 1 f.), Jeremiah (Jer. I, 11 f.), Ezekiel (Ezek. I, 4), and others. Revelation in the Bible is _Mahazeh_, _hazon_, and _hizayon_, "vision"--whence _hozeh_, "seer"; or _mareh_, "sight," whence _roeh_, "seer." See also Geiger: _Urschrift_, 340; 390. Prophecy without dream or vision is claimed for Moses (Num. XII, 6-8; Exod. XXX, 11; Deut. XXXIV, 10; see Maimonides: _Moreh_, II, 43-47; Albo, _Ikkarim_, III, 8). The revelation on Sinai is described as "the great vision," or _mareh:_ Exod. III, 3; XXIV, 17; compare Deut. IV, 11-V, 23, according to which only a "voice" is heard. Instead of God the later prophets see an angel, as Zach. I, 8, 11; II, 2 f. Compare Yebam. 49 b, as to the difference between Isaiah, who saw God in a vision, and Moses, who saw Him "in a shining mirror." He will appear in the latter way to the righteous in the future world, Suc. 45 b; Lev. R. I, 14; I Cor. XIII, 12. 75 See Gen. XX, 6; XXXI, 29; Num. XXIV; Job IV, 16 f.; XXXVIII, 1. 76 The Hebrew word for prophecy is passive,--_nibba'_ or _hithnabbe'_, "to be made to speak," or "to bubble forth,"--the Deity being the active power, while the prophet is His mouthpiece. 77 Ex. XXXIII, 11; Deut. XXXIV, 10. 78 Ex. XIX, 19; XX, 19. 79 Ex. XIX, 1-8. 80 Shab. 88 a after Ex. XXIV, 7. _ 81 Seder Olam_ R., I and XXI; Lev. Rab. I, 12-14; B. B. 15 b. 82 Hag. 13 b; Sanh. 89 a; Lev. R. l. c. 83 See Schmiedl: _Stud. u. jued.-arabische Religionsphilosophie_, 191-192; S. Horowitz: _D. Prophetologie i. d. jued. Relig
