INSTRUCTION (Hebrew-musar):The Hebrew word translated instruction means discipline that is instructive and corrective in nature. the word emphasizes the nourishing and chastising elements of bringing up a child. Instruction has to do with both the reception of knowledge through hearing and the application of that knowledge in daily life. In proverbs, discipline comes primarily through ones father but also through ones mother. Usually the word refers to verbal instruction, but it can also refer to the rod of correction. The content of the instruction is frequently linked to wisdom, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord identified by the prophets as Gods corrective punishment on the Israelites.
