in wisdom
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + feminine singular absolute noun חָכְמָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun חָכְמָה is a feminine singular abstract meaning "wisdom" or "skill," derived from the root חכם (to be wise, to act wisely). The prefixed בְּ preposition indicates instrumentality or sphere, hence "in wisdom," preserving both the abstract quality and the root’s sense of applied skill and discernment. |
