Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1322 (διδαχή, didachē): Teaching, doctrine - G1319 (διδασκαλία, didaskalia): Instruction, teaching Usage: The Hebrew word "lekah" primarily refers to learning or instruction, often in the context of wisdom or moral teaching. It is used to denote the act of receiving knowledge or understanding, particularly in a spiritual or ethical sense. The term emphasizes the importance of acquiring wisdom and understanding as a foundation for righteous living. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the pursuit of wisdom and understanding was highly valued. Instruction was often passed down orally from generation to generation, with a strong emphasis on the teachings of the Torah. Wisdom literature, such as Proverbs, played a crucial role in imparting moral and ethical guidance. The concept of "lekah" reflects the communal and covenantal nature of learning in Israel, where instruction was not only for personal edification but also for maintaining the covenant relationship with God.
