Bath-kol:

A heavenly or divine voice announcing the will of God.
Also the name of what was probably a method of divination among the ancient Jews.
It is said that the first words uttered after the appeal to Bath-kol were taken as being oracular: the words in Hebrew means approximately 'daughter of the voice', or 'echo'.
