Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1108 (γνῶσις, gnosis) - knowledge - G1922 (ἐπίγνωσις, epignosis) - full knowledge, discernment Usage: The Hebrew word "daath" primarily refers to knowledge, understanding, or perception. It encompasses both intellectual comprehension and experiential knowledge. In the biblical context, "daath" often implies a deep, intimate understanding that goes beyond mere factual information, encompassing moral and spiritual dimensions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, knowledge was not merely an accumulation of facts but was closely tied to one's relationship with God and others. The Hebrew concept of knowledge involved a holistic understanding that included wisdom, discernment, and the ability to apply what one knows in practical and ethical ways. Knowledge was seen as a gift from God, essential for living a life that is pleasing to Him.
