Prov 23:23
1
Buy truth, and do not sell it;
Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.
Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.
1
The ancient rabbis routinely assumed "truth" to refer to the Torah (Law), and they interpreted the first part of this command to mean that a student should pay a teacher to teach him the Torah if he can find no one to teach him for free. As for the second part, they said that if the student had to pay to learn, he should not view this as grounds to charge for teaching others, but should teach the Torah for free.
