The term "school" as understood in modern contexts does not have a direct equivalent in the biblical texts. However, there are references to places of learning and instruction that can be interpreted in relation to the concept of a school. In ancient Israel, education was largely informal and familial, with children learning from their parents and community members. The Hebrew word "lamad" (לָמַד), meaning "to teach" or "to learn," highlights the importance of oral transmission of knowledge, especially regarding the Law and religious practices (Deuteronomy 6:6-7).In the New Testament, the term "school" can be more closely associated with the concept of the "synagogue," where teaching and learning took place. For instance, Jesus is depicted as teaching in synagogues (Luke 4:15) and engaging in discussions with learned individuals (Luke 2:46-47). Additionally, the Apostle Paul was educated under Gamaliel, a respected teacher of the law (Acts 22:3), indicating a structured form of learning that resembles what we might consider a school today. Thus, while the Bible does not explicitly mention "schools" as we know them, it does emphasize the significance of teaching, learning, and community instruction in the spiritual and moral development of individuals.
