The Seven Pillars of Wisdom

Teaching Notes by Stephen Pidgeon

Proverbs 9:1-

1 Wisdom תֹומְכָח (chokmah)has built הֹונֹוב her house הִיַּח, she has hewn out תֹוצִח her seven עַחִש pillars דִּמַע : 2 She has killed חֹוחִת (tabakh - slaughtered ) her beasts חַחִת (tebach); she has mingled כֹוסִמ (mawsak - spiced ) her wine יִיַּי (yahyin); she has also furnished דֹורִמ (awrak – ordered ) her table עָחְתֹוי (shulkhan). 3 She has sent forth עֹוחִת (shawlakh) her maidens נִדֲרֹוב (na’ahrah): she cries אֹורֹוק (qara’ – calls out ) upon ףִג (gaf – at the arch ) the highest places כֹורָמ (mawrome - above ) of the city אַרַח (kehreth), 4 Whoso is simple יְחַּי, let him turn in סַר hither: as for him that wants תֹוסָר understanding חָח, she says קֹוכִר to him, 5 Come יֹוחִמ (yawlakh), eat חֹותִמ (lacham) of my bread חַתַמ (lechem), and drink עֹוחֹוב (shotah) of the wine יִיַּי (yahyin) which I have mingled כֹוסִמ (mawsak – spiced ). 6 Forsake דֹוזִח the foolish יְחַּי, and live תֹויֹוב; and go קֹועִר (asher) in the way ְךַרַמ (dehrek) of understanding הַּינֹוב. (binah) 7 He that reproves יֹוסִר (yasar – chastise ) a scorner חַל gets חֹואִת to himself shame אֹוחלָי: and he that rebukes יֹומִת a wicked רֹועֹוש (ra-sha’ – feminine) man gets himself a blot ְמקַמכ. (moom - blemish ) 8 Reprove יֹומִת not a scorner חַל , lest he hate אֹונָק you: rebuke יֹומִת (yaw-kakh - correct ) a wise man תֹומֹומ (chakam), and he will love קֹובִח (ahav) you. 9 Give נֹוחִי (natan) instruction to a wise תֹומֹומ man , and he will be yet wiser תֹומִמ: teach יֹועִש (yada’ – know ) a just צְִךַּיא (tzadik - righteous ) man , and he will increase יֹוסִג in learning חַאִת. 10 The fear יַּרְקֹוב( yirah – awesome reverence ) of Yahuah יְבָלֹוב is the beginning הְתַּחֹוב (tekilah – commencement ) of wisdom תֹומְכֹוב ( chokmah ): and the knowledge ְךִדִח ( da’at ) of the holy אֹועלָע (qadosh) is understanding הַּינֹוב ( binah ).

Seven Pillars:

**1. Eat of the bread (this is My body) (Marcus 14:22)

2. Drink of the wine (blood of the renewed covenant) (Marcus 14:23-24)
3. Forsake the foolish (pearls before swine) (Matt. 7:6)
4. Go in the way of understanding**

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of Elohiym. (Ketercha Elohiym)

**5. Correct the wise man (Revelation 3:19)

6. Give instruction to the wise man**

1 Corinthians 2:6-16 Howbeit we speak wisdom (chokmah) among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7 But we speak the wisdom (chokmah) of Elohiym in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom , which Elohiym ordained before the world unto our glory (hod or kavod): 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew (da’at): for had they known it , they would not have crucified the Adonai of glory (hod or kavod). 9 But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which Elohiym has prepared for them that love him. 10 But Elohiym has revealed (ףֹוחֹוב קָזַי galah ozen) them unto us by his Ruach: for the Ruach searches* all things, yea, the deep things of Elohiym. 11 For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit (nefesh) of man which is in him? even so the things of Elohiym knows no man, but the Ruach Elohiym. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Ruach which is of Elohiym; that we might know (yada’) the things that are freely given to us of Elohiym.1 3 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches (yada’), but which the Ruach Ha’Qodesh teaches (yada’); comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Ruach Elohiym: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them , because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judges (diyn – judge ) all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who has known (da’at) the mind of Yahuah, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of HaMashiach.

Proverbs 2:3 Yea, if you cry אֹורֹוק after knowledge הַּינֹוב (binah), and lift up נֹוחִי your voice אלָח for understanding הֹוחַי (tabuah); If you seek הֹואִע (bawkah – search out ) her as silver ףַסַג, and searchest תֹופִא (khaphas) for her as for hid treasures כִחְכָי (matmone); 5 Then shall you understand הַּיי (ben) the fear יַּרְקֹוב (yiraw) of Yahuah יְבָלֹוב, and find כֹוצֹוק (matza) the knowledge ְךִדִח (da’at) of Elohiym קיִבַּימ.

7. Bring knowledge to the wise man
