and sound-wisdom
| Root | ישה (y-š-h) |
| Core Meanings | substance, soundness, stability, support, resourcefulness |
| Semantic Range | sound wisdom, practical insight, resourcefulness, effective counsel, substantial help, enterprise |
| Conceptual Significance | תּוּשִׁיָּה often denotes more than intellectual knowledge; it signifies wisdom that is stable, effectual, and grounded in reality. In wisdom literature, it reflects Yahweh’s own store of reliable counsel and the kind of practical, sustaining insight granted to the righteous. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ prefixed to a common feminine singular absolute noun (Ncfsa). No pronominal suffix. The form is singular and abstract. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun תּוּשִׁיָּה derives from a root likely conveying the idea of substance or solidity, hence wisdom that is sound, stable, and effectual. Rendering it as "sound-wisdom" preserves the sense of grounded, substantiated insight, while "and" reflects the prefixed conjunction (וְ). The singular form is maintained in English. |
