Bible Verses About Prophetesses: Anna

There was also a prophet named Hannah Bat-P'nu'el, of the tribe of Asher. She was a very old woman -- she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage

and had remained a widow ever since; now she was eighty-four. She never left the Temple grounds but worshipped there night and day, fasting and praying.

She came by at that moment and began thanking God and speaking about the child to everyone who was waiting for Yerushalayim to be liberated.
