It conveys the idea of possessing and applying knowledge, understanding, and discernment in various situations. In the biblical context, wisdom is often associated with the fear of the Lord and adherence to His commandments. It is not merely intellectual but deeply spiritual and moral, guiding individuals in righteous living.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, wisdom was highly valued and often associated with leadership and governance. Wisdom literature, such as Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, reflects the importance of wisdom in daily life and spiritual matters. Wisdom was seen as a divine gift, and those who were wise were often sought after for counsel and guidance. The concept of wisdom in the Hebrew Bible is closely linked to the fear of the Lord, suggesting that true wisdom begins with reverence for God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be wise<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>acting wisely (1), becomes (1), been...wise (1), deal wisely (1), exceedingly (1), make me wiser (1), makes us wiser (1), making wise (1), skillful (1), teach his wisdom (1), wise (16), wiser (2).<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">חָכַם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be wise</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>; Aramaic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb031403.gif">, <font class="hebrew2">חֲכַם</font> <em>id.</em>; Zinjirli <font class="hebrew2">חכמה</font> <em>wisdom</em>, DHM<sup>Sendsch.57</sup>; Assyrian <i><em>—akâmu</em></i>, <em>know</em> (with exceptional <font class="hebrew2">חֿ</font> see Dl<sup>Pr 178 f.</sup>); Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb031404.gif"> <em>restrain from acting in an evil manner, judge, govern</em>; IV.<em>make firm, sound, free from defect</em> by the exercise of skill) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/23-15.htm">Proverbs 23:15</a>; 3feminine singular <font class="hebrew2">חָֽכְמָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/9-2.htm">Zechariah 9:2</a>; <font class="hebrew2">הָכַמְתָּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/9-12.htm">Proverbs 9:12</a> (twice in verse), etc. + 3t.
