ne.hi.ru denotes a quality found in a person alongside understanding and wisdom.

In both attestations, the noun names a quality found in a man and listed alongside understanding and wisdom; the verses present it as part of the reported evidence of his exceptional discernment.

Senses in use

  1. A quality accompanying understanding and wisdom · dominant

    The same feminine singular absolute form occurs in reports about a man: in Daniel 5:11 the APB renders a list in which “light and understanding and wisdom” were found in him, and in Daniel 5:14 it again renders “light and understanding and extraordinary wisdom” as found in him.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Daniel 5:11 and Daniel 5:14, the APB presents the term within the repeated list “light and understanding and wisdom.” The precise contribution of the noun is inferred from that shared clause rather than assigned to an English word with certainty.
