WHAT??
not sure I followed that. Is he referring to wisdom, as being there before God laid the foundations of creation? I'm a little lost with this one.
I'm sure you'll come to the table with some great insight on this one
I did some research and found there is much discussion and confusion around Lady Wisdom. Some even say that she is a deity around from eternity. i don't buy that it says--
23 I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be. 24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
Looks like God created Lady Wisdom right before laying out the universe. Maybe she is some of the laws and principles of the universe? I don't really know either, some say she represents personification of attributes of God. So I'm not sure if she is a separate living being, definitely not anything we were taught growing up or if it represents internalizing God's teachings so much in our hearts that it brings them to life in us? maybe the ladder for me.
I believe we may see more references to her as we continue our studies. so I guess we will have to continue to ponder.
