Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

[מִדְרָשׁ] noun [masculine] study, exposition, midrash, only construct מִדְרַשׁ (late; common in Late Hebrew, in sense of imaginative exposition or didactic story) — מִדְרַשׁ סֵפֶר הַמְּלָכִים midrash of the book of Kings 2 Chronicles 24:27; מִדְרַשׁ הַנָּבִיא עִדּוֺ midrash of the prophet Iddo 2 Chronicles 13:22. These were probably of a didactic character, compare Dr^{Intr 497}.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

מִדְרָשׁ m. (from the root דָּרַשׁ No. 5), a commentary, as often in the Rabbinic. 2 Chronicles 24:27, מִדְרַשׁ סֵפֶר הַמְּלָכִים “the commentary of (or on) the book of the kings,” i.e. an historical commentary containing supplements. 2 Chronicles 13:22. Others suppose that מִדְרָשׁ like the Arab. مِدْرَسُ means any book, but this is incorrect.

[מְדֻשָׁה (the actually occurring form), see מְדוּשָׁה.]
