and to my goading-teacher

Root	למד (l-m-d)
Core Meanings	to learn, to teach, to train, to prod or goad toward skill
Semantic Range	teacher, instructor, trainer, one who disciplines or imparts skill, one who causes another to learn
Conceptual Significance	Teaching in the Hebrew Bible is covenantal and formative, involving disciplined training in Torah and wisdom. The root למד connects learning and teaching as reciprocal acts within Israel’s faith community, emphasizing guided formation rather than mere information transfer.
Morphological Notes	Piel participle masculine singular construct (מְלַמֵּד) with 1cs pronominal suffix (-ַי, "my"), preceded by conjunction וְ ("and") and preposition לִ ("to/for").
Rendering Rationale	The form is a Piel masculine singular participle in construct with a 1st person common singular suffix, meaning "my one-who-teaches." The Piel stem conveys intensive or active instruction, rooted in the idea of goading or training, so "goading-teacher" preserves both the root imagery and the masculine singular possessive form.
