Proverbs 910

Proverbs 9:10 is a verse from the Book of Proverbs in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. The verse reads: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight." In Hebrew, this verse is written as: "יִרְאַת יְהוָה רֵאשִׁית חָכְמָה, וְדַעַת קְדֹושִׁים בִּינָה" (Yir'at Adonai reishit chokhmah, v'da'at k'doshim binah). The verse emphasizes the importance of reverence and awe for God as the foundation of true wisdom and understanding. This theme is central to the Book of Proverbs, which is attributed to King Solomon and is part of the biblical wisdom literature. The "fear of the Lord" is a recurring concept in the Hebrew Bible, often signifying a profound respect and submission to God's will. In Christian tradition, this verse is often interpreted as underscoring the necessity of divine revelation and grace in the pursuit of wisdom. Translations of this verse in other languages include: "El temor de Jehová es el principio de la sabiduría, y el conocimiento del Santo es la inteligencia" in Spanish, and "Die Furcht des HERRN ist der Anfang der Weisheit, und die Erkenntnis des Heiligen ist Verstand" in German.
