The Aramaic form of chokmah (H2451), meaning wisdom, skill, and understanding. Used in the Aramaic sections of Daniel (Daniel 2:20-23) to describe the divine wisdom that God grants to those who seek Him, especially in revealing hidden mysteries.
Chokmah in both Hebrew and Aramaic represents far more than intellectual capacity — it is the divinely imparted ability to perceive reality as God sees it. In Daniel, wisdom is directly linked to revelation: God gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding (Daniel 2:21). The Aramaic usage in Daniel's court narratives demonstrates that God's wisdom transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries — it is available in Babylon as much as in Jerusalem. Proverbs 8 personifies Wisdom as calling from the heights, predating creation itself. In Christ, all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden (Colossians 2:3).
