Midrash is a genre of Jewish literature that interprets and elaborates upon biblical texts. While midrash began as an oral genre in the Second Temple period, the earliest rabbinic collections are from the third century. Different collections of rabbinic teachings employ similar methods of interpretation, including reading distant biblical verses in light of each other to generate deeper insights into both narrative and legal biblical texts.
