Encyclopedia of the Bible.....With the development of literacy a change in the aims of education can be detected. The fundamental aim in Israelite education was religious, but one can distinguish two separate parts of this aim—(a) the transmission of a historical heritage. Israelites were requested to teach their history (Exod 12:26, 27; 13:7, 8, 14; Josh 4:21ff.). They were required to remember to teach the ordinances (Deut 4:9, 10; 6:20, 21; 7:17-19; 32:7). The aim was to transmit an ethical heritage (Gen 18:19—cf. Exod 20:1-17). Of course, ethical injunctions were aimed to make a good and just society (Lev 19:2ff.). Social justice is linked with the holiness of God (Amos 2:6, 7). The fear of the Lord is to lead to a good life (Prov 9:10). In fact wisdom is equated with life itself (8:35). In the Wisdom Lit. the emphasis shifts to instruction in ethical conduct of life. Here the instruction in daily existence finds many parallels in the lit. of the ancient Near E. There is instruction, for example, concerning the sex life (5:3-21). Again and again the stress is laid on the need for instruction for the good life. This is the purpose of education, to instruct in righteousness (1:2-4). The need for the continuity of this instruction continues life long (1:5).
