Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3925 (לָמַד, lamad) - to learn, to teach - H3045 (יָדַע, yada) - to know, to perceive, to understand Usage: The Greek verb "manthanó" primarily means to learn or to acquire knowledge through instruction or experience. It implies a process of understanding or comprehending something that was previously unknown. In the New Testament, it often refers to the learning of spiritual truths or the teachings of Jesus Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, learning was highly valued, especially in the context of philosophy and rhetoric. Education was often conducted by a teacher or philosopher, and students were expected to learn through both instruction and practice. In the Jewish context, learning was closely associated with the study of the Torah and the teachings of the rabbis. The concept of learning in the New Testament reflects both these cultural influences, emphasizing the importance of discipleship and the transformative power of divine truth.
