Editing Major prophet (section)

{{Short description|Grouping of books in the Old Testament}}
The '''major prophets''' is a grouping of books in the Christian [[Old Testament]] that does not occur in the [[Hebrew Bible]]. All of these books are traditionally regarded as authored by the [[prophet]]s [[Isaiah]], [[Jeremiah]], [[Ezekiel]], and [[Daniel (biblical figure)|Daniel]]. The term major prophets refers to the length of the books and not the achievement or importance of the prophets. In comparison to the books of the [[Twelve Minor Prophets]], whose books are short and grouped together into one single book in the Hebrew Bible, the books of the major prophets are much longer.<ref name=":0">{{cite journal | doi=10.1353/ota.2020.0043 | title=Major Prophets | year=2020 | last1=Begg | first1=Christopher T. | last2=Graybill | first2=Rhiannon | last3=Urbrock | first3=William J. | journal=Old Testament Abstracts | volume=43 | issue=2 | pages=483–498 | s2cid=258606851 }}</ref>
