| Summary: | In The Origins of Midrash: From Teaching to Text of Midrash, Paul Mandel presents a comprehensive study of the words darash and midrash from the Bible until the early rabbinic periods (3rd century CE). In contrast to current understandings in which the words are identified with modes of analysis of the biblical text, Mandel claims that they refer to instruction in law and not to an interpretation of text. Mandel traces the use of these words as they are associated with the scribe (sofer), the doresh ha-torah in the Dead Sea scrolls, the exegetes of the laws in the writings of Josephus and the rabbinic sage (akham), showing the development of the uses of midrash as a form of instruction throughout these periods.
