Grade 1 Scripture Study Week 20 | Student Textbook
King James Version study. Days 96 to 100.
The KJV writes LORD for Yahuah, God for Elohim, Jesus for Yahusha, and Holy Ghost for Ruach HaQodesh (the Set-Apart Spirit). Scripture quotations remain exactly as printed in the KJV.
Listen to the KJV passage read aloud. Read the short explanation and study the different-verse worked example before starting your practice.
Day 96: Proverbs 1:7
Read aloud: Proverbs 1:7 (KJV).
The book of Proverbs teaches wisdom in short sayings. Its opening says the fear of Yahuah is the beginning of knowledge. This fear means deep respect and reverence. The verse contrasts a wise path with foolishly refusing instruction.
Worked example, Proverbs 1:5 (KJV): “A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:”
Sample question: What does a wise person do? Find the words: “increase learning.” Worked answer: Hear and increase learning. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 97: Proverbs 1:8
Read aloud: Proverbs 1:8 (KJV).
Proverbs tells a son to hear his father’s instruction and not forsake his mother’s law. Both parents are named as teachers. Listening is an important part of learning. We can show whom the verse says to hear.
Worked example, Proverbs 1:9 (KJV): “For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.”
Sample question: What does the proverb compare the instruction to? Find the words: “ornament of grace.” Worked answer: An ornament of grace and chains about the neck. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 98: Proverbs 3:5
Read aloud: Proverbs 3:5 (KJV).
The proverb tells the reader to trust Yahuah with all the heart. It says not to lean only on one’s own understanding. That does not mean never thinking. It means not making ourselves the highest guide when learning what is right.
Worked example, Proverbs 3:6 (KJV): “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Sample question: What does the proverb say Yahuah shall direct? Find the words: “direct thy paths.” Worked answer: Thy paths. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 99: Proverbs 15:1
Read aloud: Proverbs 15:1 (KJV).
A soft answer can quiet anger. Proverbs says that harsh words can stir it up. Think of two people who disagree. The words they choose may help calm the talk or make it harder.
Worked example, Proverbs 15:2 (KJV): “The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.”
Sample question: What do wise people use knowledge with? Find the words: “tongue of the wise.” Worked answer: Their tongue aright. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 100: Proverbs 18:13
Read aloud: Proverbs 18:13 (KJV).
Proverbs warns about answering before hearing a matter. A person who jumps in may misunderstand the question. Listening first helps us learn the whole story. We can think about a time someone needed to finish speaking.
Worked example, Proverbs 18:15 (KJV): “The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.”
Sample question: What does the ear of the wise seek? Find the words: “ear of the wise.” Worked answer: Knowledge. The printed words show how to find this answer.
