Summary

Tanakh epistemology has been studied so far by examining the chapter where “know” (yada) appears most often and by exploring the resonance of that passage, Daniel 2, in western culture. Individual verses in the Tanakh will be investigated now where “see,” “hear,” and “know” relate an epistemic subject to its object. The linguistic contexts established by collocations of these three verbs correlate to semantic networks that result from associating knowledge with the most commonly attested forms of perception. Linguistics and semantics pinpoint verses where see, hear, and know highlight instances of emphatic observational knowledge in Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Isaiah, and Daniel.
