MAJOR AND MINOR PROPHETS ACCORDING TO BOOKS
The arrangement found in current Bibles is roughly chronological. Also each book written contained;
1. Autobiography
2. Biography about the prophet, the original author
3. Oracles or speeches by the prophets, judgment oracles, messenger speeches, songs, hymns, narrative, lament, law, proverb, symbolic gesture, prayer, wisdom saying, and vision.
It seems that an emphatic focus on Jerusalem and Judah was [also] a main concern.
The difference between major and minor prophets is the differencein length of their books. The major prophets are much longer and fewer in number. Minor prophets are shorter in length and greater in number. (ranging from a single chapter to fourteen)
There are five books from the major prophets. Combined, these books contain 183 chapters, with the longest composed of 66. *Isaiah* , the longest along with *Jeramiah, Lamentations, Daniel and Ezekiel,* makeup the major prophets. But
The Hebrew Bible includes only the Books of *Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel* and latter, these two were added *Lamentations and Daniel* (Writings)
There are 12 books labeled minor prophets, and combined they only contain 67 chapters. The shortest has only one chapter ( Obadiah ). These can often be read in a single short sitting. The minor prophets are *Hosea,Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai,Zechariah and Malachi.*
