The restoration of Israel By your wisdom and understanding This phrase highlights the attributes of wisdom and understanding, which are often seen as gifts from God. In the Hebrew context, "wisdom" (חָכְמָה, chokmah) is not merely intellectual knowledge but a skillful application of knowledge in life, often associated with a deep reverence for God. "Understanding" (תְּבוּנָה, tebunah) implies discernment and insight.
