Berean Strong's Lexicon lamad: To learn, to teach, to instruct Original Word: לָמַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3129 (μανθάνω, manthano) - to learn - G1321 (διδάσκω, didasko) - to teach Usage: The Hebrew verb "lamad" primarily means "to learn" or "to teach." It conveys the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through instruction or experience. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often refers to the teaching and learning of God's laws, commandments, and wisdom. The term underscores the importance of education and the transmission of divine truths from one generation to the next. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, education was a communal and familial responsibility, deeply rooted in religious practice. The Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) emphasizes the importance of teaching God's commandments to children. Learning was not merely an intellectual exercise but a holistic process involving the heart, soul, and strength. The role of the teacher was highly esteemed, and the process of learning was seen as a lifelong journey toward understanding and living out God's will.
