Strong's Lexicon chokmah: Wisdom Original Word: חָכְמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָכַם (chakam), meaning "to be wise" or "to act wisely." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4678 (σοφία, sophia) – Often used in the New Testament to denote wisdom, particularly divine wisdom. Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, "chokmah" refers to wisdom, skill, or expertise. It encompasses both practical skills and moral insight. Wisdom is often portrayed as a divine attribute and a gift from God, essential for righteous living and understanding His will. It is not merely intellectual knowledge but involves the application of knowledge in making godly decisions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, wisdom was highly valued and often associated with the ability to live a successful and righteous life. It was seen as a divine gift that could be sought through prayer and study of the Scriptures. Wisdom literature, such as Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job, reflects the importance of wisdom in guiding ethical and moral behavior. Wisdom was also linked to the ability to govern justly and to understand the mysteries of life.
