SIBI-P1 H3925-19
they thoroughly taught them
| Root | למד (l-m-d) |
| Core Meanings | to learn, to teach, to train, to goad, to discipline toward skill |
| Semantic Range | to learn, to teach, to train, to discipline, to become skilled, to instruct formally or practically |
| Conceptual Significance | למד reflects the covenantal priority of instruction in Israel, where teaching and learning transmit Torah, wisdom, and communal identity across generations, often implying disciplined formation rather than mere information transfer. |
| Morphological Notes | Piel perfect 3rd common plural (לִמְּדוּ) with 3rd masculine plural pronominal suffix (־ם), indicating a completed intensive act of instruction performed by "they" upon "them." |
| Rendering Rationale | The root למד carries the idea of training or goading someone toward learning and skill. In the Piel stem it expresses intensive or active instruction, hence "thoroughly taught." The form is perfect 3rd common plural with a 3rd masculine plural suffix, accurately reflected in "they … them." |
