Boruch Kahan asked:
The Gemoro lists 48 Neviim and Rashi lists them all .He starts with Avrohom and the Gra discusses whether we should start from there at all.Ober Lefi Rashi in this week's Sedra Parshas Noach on Perek Yud Possuk Kaf Hey Rashi clearly states that Ever was a Novi since he called his son AL MA SHE OSID LOVO so why does Rashi's list start from Avrohom in Megilah Yud Daled Lefi Rashi al HaTorah it should start from Ever

The Kollel replies:
Was the wife of Potifar then a Navi as well, according to Rashi Bereishis 39:1?
Not every guess at the future comes through Nevu'ah! Besides, we are only counting Nevi'im who gave messages to others which is why No'ach etc. aren't counted.
Be well,
