Definition: The word "apprentice" in biblical context refers to a young person who receives instruction or training for a specific occupation from older, more experienced individuals. It is often associated with being physically skilled and learning new skills through direct experience rather than formal education. In the Bible, apprenticeship can range from small tasks like building a tool, to more complex projects like designing furniture, as depicted in the Book of Exodus. This narrative emphasizes that learning is done by example and by imitation, making apprenticeship one of the most prominent themes in biblical literature.
