LAMAD Whereas the verb dml means "to know" and in the Hiphil, "to cause to know," dml means "to learn" and in the Pii1, "to cause to learn."5 The former verb indicates the acquiring of knowledge, but the latter indicates the training to do the right thing.6 In the Qal dml basically means "to beat" in the sense of training animals with a goad. For this reason the noun dmlm is an ox-goad used in training cattle (Judg. 3 :31). From the idea of training animals (see Hos. 10 :11) the word came to be used of soldiers trained for war (1 Chron. 15 :18). An ani- mal trained by the goad or a soldier trained for war accustoms 5 Cf. Deut. 4:9b (dml) with Deut. 4:10b (31"). Also see Ps. 25:4a (fdy and 24:4b (dml). 6 This is the verb from which comes the word Talmud (dvmlt).
