Key Greek entries include Strong's G4678 (sophia) and G5428 (phronesis), which convey similar concepts of wisdom and understanding.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "soklethanu" refers to a form of wisdom or insight that involves practical understanding and discernment. It is often associated with the ability to make judicious decisions and to act with foresight and intelligence. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe a quality that is highly valued and often linked to the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, wisdom was considered a divine gift and was highly esteemed. It was not merely intellectual knowledge but included moral and ethical dimensions. The wise person was one who lived in accordance with God's laws and principles, demonstrating understanding in both personal and communal life. Wisdom literature, such as Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, emphasizes the importance of seeking and applying wisdom in daily life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from <a href="/hebrew/7920.htm">sekal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>insight<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>insight (3).<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">שָׂכְלְתָנוּ</font> (K<sup>§ 61, 4</sup>)) <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>insight</b></font>;
