[Mesorah] Fwd: A dikduk question

This isn’t really a dikduk question. Without nikkud, the morphology is not
fully specified. It is a compositional question. Which meaning of the word
gives an idiomatically correct sentence. The answer to this, I think,
relies as much on the use of the word מפי as the form of למדן. The broader
context could also help. In other words, you could know every page of a
reference grammar inside and out, and still not be able to answer this
question.

Hi, Micha.

Could you forward this question to those who would have an answer?

In this sentence,
וכולן למדן משה רבינו ע''ה מפי הגבורה
does למדן mean ''he learned them''' or ''he taught them'''? (Nikud is not
given.)

Thanks,

Zvi Lampel
