Usage: The term תַּלְמִיד (talmid) is used to describe someone who is a learner or follower, particularly in the context of being a disciple or student of a teacher or master. It emphasizes the relationship between the teacher and the learner, highlighting the process of learning and instruction.

Context: The Hebrew term תַּלְמִיד (talmid) is not frequently found in the Old Testament, but its concept is deeply embedded in the Jewish tradition of learning and discipleship. The root לָמַד (lamad) is more commonly used, appearing in various forms to describe the act of teaching and learning. In the biblical context, a תַּלְמִיד (talmid) would be someone who sits under the tutelage of a teacher, absorbing wisdom, knowledge, and instruction. This relationship is akin to that of a disciple to a rabbi, where the pupil not only learns information but also adopts the lifestyle and teachings of the instructor. The concept of being a disciple is further expanded in the New Testament, where the Greek equivalent is used to describe followers of Jesus Christ.
