Strong's Lexicon talmid: Disciple, student, learner Original Word: תַּלְמִיד Word Origin: Derived from the root למד (lamad), meaning "to learn" or "to teach." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3101 μαθητής (mathētēs) – Disciple - G1320 διδάσκαλος (didaskalos) – Teacher Usage: The term "talmid" refers to a disciple or student, someone who is engaged in learning from a teacher. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often implies a close relationship between the teacher and the student, where the student not only learns information but also adopts the lifestyle and teachings of the teacher. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, the concept of a "talmid" was integral to the educational and religious systems. Young men would often attach themselves to a rabbi or teacher to learn the Torah and other Jewish teachings. This relationship was not merely academic; it involved living with the teacher, observing their way of life, and emulating their practices. This model of discipleship was foundational in the development of rabbinic Judaism and later influenced the early Christian understanding of discipleship.
