# talmud (תַּלְמוּד)

pronounced: tal-MOOD


**Study, learning — the later record of rabbinic discussion built around the Mishnah**

## In Scripture

> Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and to the ordinances, which I teach you, to do them; that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, gives you.
> — Deuteronomy 4:1 (Root component — teach uses l-m-d, the root behind the later noun Talmud; the rabbinic work is not present in the verse.)

> Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”
> — Deuteronomy 5:1 (Root component — l-m-d is learning that moves from hearing to practice.)
