It encompasses both practical skills and ethical or spiritual insight. It is often associated with the ability to make sound judgments and live a life that is pleasing to God. Wisdom is portrayed as a divine attribute and a gift from God, essential for righteous living.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, wisdom was highly valued and often associated with the ability to govern justly, as seen in the reign of King Solomon, who is renowned for his wisdom. Wisdom literature, such as Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, reflects the importance of chokmah in guiding moral and ethical behavior. Wisdom was not merely intellectual but was deeply connected to one's relationship with God and adherence to His commandments.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
