to learn
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, infinitive absolute; simple active verbal form expressing the action in abstract or emphatic sense. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal stem expresses the simple active sense of the root למד, primarily "to learn" or "to become accustomed." As an infinitive absolute, it presents the verbal idea in its pure form, hence "to learn." |
