Midrash is biblical exegesis by ancient Judaic authorities, using a mode of interpretation prominent in the Talmud. The word itself means "textual interpretation", or "study". The Midrash collects background and supplementary material on the Hebrew Bible and interprets Scripture in that manner. It contains early interpretations and commentaries on the Written Torah and Oral Torah and forms a running commentary on specific passages in the Hebrew Scripture (Tanakh).
