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). Tales and Maxims from the Midrash: Alexander of Macedon Demons Ashmedai, The King Of Demons Messiah Genesis Rabba Exodus Rabba Leviticus Rabba Numbers Rabba Deuteronomy Rabba Midrash Ruth Midrash Song of Songs Midrash Ecclesiastes Midrash Lamentations Midrash Esther Midrash Psalms Midrash Proverbs Midrash Samuel Midrash Tanchumah Or Yelamdinu
