H8527 H8527
student, scholar, disciple (late Hebrew noun denoting one who learns, especially in Levitical musical training)
A late Hebrew term for student or scholar, appearing in 1 Chronicles 25:8 in the context of Levitical musical training. The verse describes casting lots for service assignments 'teacher with student,' showing formal pedagogical relationships among temple musicians. The word is rare in Biblical Hebrew but common in later rabbinic literature where it becomes the standard term for 'disciple.' Here it indicates formal training relationships, with experienced musicians teaching apprentices the complex art of temple psalmody.
