Background of Nahum - Enter the Bible

The name itself is not uncommon; it occurs often in Northwest Semitic inscriptions, once in the Arad ostraca (seventh century BC) and once in the Lachish letters (seventh century BC). It occurs often in the Mishna, also. Nahum is nowhere called a "prophet" (Hebrew: nabi'), but the book is classified both as an "oracle" (Hebrew masa') and as a "vision" (Hebrew hazon), classifications associated also with Habakkuk, Obadiah, Malachi, and throughout Isaiah.
