SIBI-P1 Translation H2451-15
according to wisdom-of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition כְ + feminine singular construct noun חָכְמָה (wisdom); no article; construct state requires a following genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חָכְמַת is feminine singular in construct state, meaning "wisdom of." The prefixed כְ adds the sense "according to," so the rendering preserves both the construct relationship and the root idea of applied wisdom or skill. |
