"Among the first to isolate and examine in detail the elements in the narrative call pattern in the Bible was Norman Habel. In a 1965 article, he distinguished six characteristic features of the pattern : (1) the divine confrontation, (2) the introductory word, (3) the commission, (4) the objection, (5) the reassurance, and (6) the sign. Habel sees this pattern embracing the prophetic commissions of the throne theophany type (for example, Isa. 6:1-13; Ezek. 1:1-3:11) as well as the narrative variety (Ex. 3:1-12 [Moses]; Judg. 6:11-27 [Gideon]; and Jer. 1:4-10 [Jeremiah]). This discussion is restricted to an examination and comparison of the prophetic commission passages in Exodus, Judges, Jeremiah, and the book of Moses." [Author]
