tu.chah denotes the inward parts, pictured as the place where wisdom is put.

The attested use presents the inward parts as an interior locus: Job 38:36 speaks of wisdom being put there, while Psalm 51:8 contains the same plural noun in a clause not represented by an identifiable corresponding phrase in the APB.

Senses in use

  1. Interior locus for wisdom · dominant

    In Job 38:36, the plural absolute noun occurs in the question of who has put wisdom in this interior location; the APB renders the clause, "Who has put wisdom in the inward parts." Psalm 51:8 has the same plural absolute form, but the supplied APB instead renders "Make me hear joy and gladness," so the term's specific contribution cannot be isolated there.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 38:36 the APB explicitly includes "in the inward parts." In Psalm 51:8 it does not provide an identifiable matching phrase.
