Leqach (H3948) denotes instruction, teaching, or learning received — what is taken in through the ear and mind. Related to laqach (to take, receive), it describes the doctrine or persuasive discourse that enters and shapes the hearer.
Proverbs prizes leqach as the gift received from wisdom. 'Let the wise hear and increase in learning (leqach)' (Proverbs 1:5). The concept connects to discipleship: the rabbi imparts and the disciple receives, takes in, and is transformed by teaching. Jesus taught with authority, and his leqach astonished the crowds (Matthew 7:28–29).
