It often refers to individuals who have a deep understanding, discernment, or expertise in a particular area. In the biblical context, wisdom is not merely intellectual knowledge but also includes moral and spiritual insight, often seen as a gift from God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, wisdom was highly valued and often associated with leadership and governance. The wisdom literature of the Bible, including books like Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, reflects the importance of wisdom in daily life and spiritual matters. Wisdom was seen as a divine attribute, and those who were wise were often considered to be in tune with God's will and purposes.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from a root corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/2449.htm">chakam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wise man<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wise men (14).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">חַכִּים</font>]<sub>14</sub> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wise man</b></font> (see Biblical Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">חכם</font>); — plural absolute <font class="hebrew2">חַכִּימִין</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-21.htm">Daniel 2:21</a>; elsewhere of the class possessed of occult learning in Babylonian V:27, emphatic <font class="hebrew2">מַיָא</font>- <a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-13.htm">Daniel 2:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-15.htm">Daniel 5:15</a>; construct <font class="hebrew2">מֵי</font>- <a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-12.htm">Daniel 2:12</a>. <a href="/interlinear/daniel/12-14.htm">Daniel 12:14</a> 7t.
