sekh.vi denotes the inner human faculty to which God gives understanding in Job 38:36.

The single attested use places sekh.vi in the inner human sphere where God gives understanding, though the translation does not securely isolate its specific English equivalent.

Senses in use

  1. Inner faculty receiving understanding · dominant

    In Job 38:36, the masculine singular absolute noun occurs in the question of who gives understanding within the human interior; the APB renders the clause, "or given understanding to the mind?" The translation confirms the verse's focus on inward understanding enough to identify a precise English rendering for this noun.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 38:36, the APB presents the inward faculty as "the mind" in a clause about receiving understanding. That wording cannot be assigned to the lemma with certainty.
