Teach in the Ear

The teacher would teach in the ear and it would be interpreted to the others both in class and in public. Y’Shua’s words came from this. What you hear in the ear, preach that upon the housetop (Matt. 10:27; Luke 12:3).
The method of teaching was often in the form of questions.
Only the learned were permitted to teach.
Education has always been emphasized in Jewish culture. It is the highest form of worship. (2 Tim. 2:15)
Education is to start in the home at the age of 3 to recite certain blessings. The first book of the Torah (the first 4 books of Moses) that a young child was taught to read was Leviticus, for it has all the laws of the priest.
There were 480 synagogues in Jerusalem in Y’Shua’s day and each one had a house of study, called the Bet Midrash (Luke 2:46) The house of study was more important than the synagogue.
