Here's the response I received from Pas...Edie,<br /><br />Here's the response I received from Pastor Bob Yandian's secretary today ...<br /><br />Gregg,<br /><br />Pastor Bob is not in the office this week, but I forwarded your email to him and below is his response to your question.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Gwen Olin<br />Pastor's Secretary<br />Grace Church<br />www.gracetulsa.com<br /><br /><br />The Hebrew definition of the word was given by R.B Thieme of Berachah<br />Church, Houston. He taught in his Proverbs series, the word means a<br />wisdom which comes from repetition, i.e. a pounding in. It may be<br />available on his website under his name or Berachah Church.<br /><br />Pastor Bob<br /><br />%+%+%+%+%+%+%+%+%+%+%+%+%<br /><br />I can see how this definition "that which is pounded in" could come from this meaning ascribed to the word by translating it "skill".<br /><br />Thanks for helping me find greater clarity about this. In the future I will state that one of the characteristics of "chokmah" is that it is the wisdom of God that is pounded in. But I don't think that this is a primary definition of the word. Thanks again for pushing me to find out more about this. Godspeed.<br /><br />read.think.pray.live.<br /><br />GreggGregg Lammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649146378121415041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18558055.post-89011524115354791372010-02-20T09:55:35.137-08:002010-02-20T09:55:35.137-08:00Edie,
Please tell me a bit about yourself.
I'...Edie,<br /><br />Please tell me a bit about yourself.<br /><br />I've written to pastor-teacher Bob Yandian with this question. And will post an answer when I receive it.<br /><br />Here's the NASB usage count of the word "chokmah" ... The words are listed in their listing alphabetically, with the number of time they're used next to them.<br /><br />skill (5), skill* (1), wisdom (143), wisely (3), wits' (1).<br /><br />I'm wondering if this much used definition of the word "chokmah" as "that which is pounded in" might be related the times the word is translated as "skill." A skill doesn't come over night. It comes with practice, with repetition, with consistency.<br /><br />Again, I will let you know when I hear back from pastor Bob. Godspeed.<br /><br />read.think.pray.live.<br /><br />GreggGregg Lammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649146378121415041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18558055.post-1563709006483268862010-02-19T18:17:55.273-08:002010-02-19T18:17:55.273-08:00I read this in a teaching by pastor teacher Bob Ya...I read this in a teaching by pastor teacher Bob Yandian years ago. He's a strong user of original languages, so I didn't question it. But I don't know where he received this definition of the word. Please let me know if you find out ore.Gregg Lammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649146378121415041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18558055.post-38967935180929206732010-02-19T18:09:45.557-08:002010-02-19T18:09:45.557-08:00Please tell me where you found the definition of t...Please tell me where you found the definition of the Hebrew (Chaldean) word chokmah as "that which is pounded in". I have heard this before, but I cannot substantiate this meaning. Strong's Concordance says nothing about "that which is pounded in". I really want to know.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09960478934651917634noreply@blogger.com
