Strong's Lexicon leqach: Instruction, teaching, learning, insight Original Word: לֶקַח Word Origin: Derived from the root verb לָקַח (laqach), meaning "to take" or "to receive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1322 (διδαχή, didachē): Teaching, doctrine - G1319 (διδασκαλία, didaskalia): Instruction, teaching Usage: The Hebrew word "leqach" primarily refers to instruction or teaching, often with an emphasis on the wisdom or insight that is imparted through such instruction. It is used in contexts that highlight the value of learning and the importance of receiving guidance, particularly in a moral or spiritual sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, instruction was highly valued, especially in the context of passing down wisdom and knowledge from one generation to the next. The concept of "leqach" is closely associated with the wisdom literature of the Old Testament, where the pursuit of wisdom and understanding is seen as a noble and essential endeavor. Instruction was often given by parents, elders, or teachers and was considered a vital part of one's spiritual and moral development.
