| Like
every Hebrew child, Jesus went through the progression of studying
the scriptures. Somewhere between the ages of 6-10, he studied
with a group of his peers, kneeling at the feet of the teacher
in a “beit sefer" – "house of the book.”
When he had memorized the first five books of the Bible and
mastered the elementary principles of God’s instructions,
he moved on to the “beit Talmud.” Beit Talmud was
the “house of learning.” Remember when Jesus’
parents had to search for him and found him in the temple? When
the best students were chosen to move to yet another stage in
their learning, they entered the “beit midrash”
– “house of study,” where you were groomed
to one day be a teacher.
We
are all encouraged to study the scriptures and to “rightly
divide the word of truth.” In this Beit Midrash, we
offer some of what we have learned and studied. We hope it
will encourage you to pursue the depth of His instructions.
As with any form of Bible study, we are also learning and
encourage your feedback, comments, and corrections on anything
you find here.
