Wisdom, Hebrew Bible, Literary GenreAbstract
In biblical studies the wisdom literature goes through a revisiting process: scholars stress the need of reading the text in an attentive and intertextual way, in order to encompass dialogue and the concept in the wisdom discourses. Among the revisited concepts is the use of חָכְמָח (ḥokmāh), which is often taken as the technical term for the genre. In order to develop such efforts and safeguard the broad dialogic proportions of the Hebrew Bible, this paper has as its aim to study the Arabic corresponding of حِكمَة (ḥikma), exploring its semantic reach and contributing to readings of the Wisdom Literature in the Hebrew Bible. حِكمَة is understood as referring mainly to the knowledge developed from human experience, without excluding its religious proportion.
