Schools

Hey guys & gals, how are you? Just want to share this to you where my churchmate read it dun sa Bible ko and we were so amazed. Swerte lng tayo kasi sa time natin ngayon we are all educated hindi gaya nung unang panahon. Well, just read below and comment. Thanks & God bless!

"Parents taught their children Bible Verses when they were still very young. They learned verses from the law and stories from the Old Testament.

When boys were five or six years old, they went to school. The leader of the synagogue taught them. For the first four years, they studied mostly the first five books of the Bible. By then they knew the laws of God very well. They also learned how to read and write Hebrew. For the next several years they studied other books of the Bible and other Jewish writings.

When a Jewish boy reached the age of twelve or thirteen, he was considered to be a man. The boy and his family and friends celebrated with a special ceremony and often a party. Most boys left school at this age.
Girls were taught at home to be wives and mothers. Most girls did not go to school or learn to read or write. By early adolescence many girls were married."
