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.

Knowledge was seen as a gift from God, essential for living a life that is pleasing to Him.
