Cross Tradition

Navi (Hebrew prophet), nabiyy (Arabic prophet), angelos (Greek divine messenger) — the role of the one who receives and transmits divine truth crosses all traditions. Prophet and divine messenger both describe the same mediating function between God and humanity.

Cognate

Hebrew malach (messenger/angel) and Greek angelos (messenger) — the same word describes both divine messengers (angels) and human prophets. Both are malach: sent ones bearing a divine word.
