The question 'What is knowledge?' is answered by which verse?

• A. Hosea 4:6
• B. Malachi 2:7
• C. Leviticus 19:28
• D. Deuteronomy 14:1

Answer: (B)

Knowledge here means the understanding of God’s law that is kept and taught by those who handle it—the priest’s role as the one who preserves and speaks the truth. Malachi 2:7 states that the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and people should seek the law at his mouth, because he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. That directly defines knowledge as the authoritative transmission of the law through the teacher’s mouth. Hosea 4:6 emphasizes the consequence of lacking knowledge rather than defining what knowledge is or how it’s transmitted, while Leviticus 19:28 and Deuteronomy 14:1 focus on prohibitions about bodily marks, not on knowledge or its teaching.
