Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָכַם (chakam), which means "to be wise" or "to act wisely."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 4678: σοφία (sophia) • wisdom Usage: The Aramaic term חָכְמָה is used in the context of wisdom literature and narratives, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where it denotes the wisdom granted by God to individuals for understanding visions, dreams, and the interpretation of divine mysteries. Context: The concept of חָכְמָה in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament is closely aligned with the Hebrew understanding of wisdom. It is a divine attribute that is imparted to individuals who seek to live in accordance with God's will. In the book of Daniel, חָכְמָה is exemplified by Daniel and his companions, who are endowed with wisdom and understanding by God, enabling them to interpret dreams and visions (Daniel 1:17). This wisdom is not merely intellectual but is deeply spiritual, reflecting a life lived in harmony with divine principles. In Ezra, the term is used to describe the wisdom required for leadership and governance, as Ezra is tasked with teaching the statutes and ordinances of God to the people (Ezra 7:25). The Aramaic חָכְמָה thus underscores the importance of divine guidance and insight in navigating the complexities of life and leadership.
