- Greek προφητεία directly translates Hebrew נְבוּאָה in the Septuagint context, both denoting prophetic utterance or inspired speech; the Greek gloss's parenthetical '(scriptural or other)' reflects broader Hellenistic usage but does not contradict the core Hebrew sense of divinely-sourced proclamation.
