Where Knowledge appears in Scripture
וַיַּצְמַח יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים מִן-הָאֲדָמָה כָּל-עֵץ נֶחְמָד לְמַרְאֶה וְטוֹב לְמַֽאֲכָל וְעֵץ הַֽחַיִּים בְּתוֹךְ הַגָּן וְעֵץ הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָֽע׃
And out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
וּמֵעֵץ הַדַּעַת טוֹב וָרָע לֹא תֹאכַל מִמֶּנּוּ כִּי בְּיוֹם אֲכָלְךָ מִמֶּנּוּ מוֹת תָּמֽוּת׃
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
וָֽאֲמַלֵּא אֹתוֹ רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים בְּחָכְמָה וּבִתְבוּנָה וּבְדַעַת וּבְכָל-מְלָאכָֽה׃
And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
וַיְמַלֵּא אֹתוֹ רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים בְּחָכְמָה בִּתְבוּנָה וּבְדַעַת וּבְכָל-מְלָאכָֽה׃
And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
נְאֻם שֹׁמֵעַ אִמְרֵי-אֵל וְיֹדֵעַ דַּעַת עֶלְיוֹן מַֽחֲזֵה שַׁדַּי יֶֽחֱזֶה נֹפֵל וּגְלוּי עֵינָֽיִם׃
He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
לָנֻס שָׁמָּה רוֹצֵחַ אֲשֶׁר יִרְצַח אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ בִּבְלִי-דַעַת וְהוּא לֹֽא-שֹׂנֵא לוֹ מִתְּמֹל שִׁלְשֹׁם וְנָס אֶל-אַחַת מִן-הֶֽעָרִים הָאֵל וָחָֽי׃
That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
וְזֶה דְּבַר הָֽרֹצֵחַ אֲשֶׁר-יָנוּס שָׁמָּה וָחָי אֲשֶׁר יַכֶּה אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ בִּבְלִי-דַעַת וְהוּא לֹֽא-שֹׂנֵא לוֹ מִתְּמֹל שִׁלְשֹֽׁם׃
And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
לָנוּס שָׁמָּה רוֹצֵחַ מַכֵּה-נֶפֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָה בִּבְלִי-דָעַת וְהָיוּ לָכֶם לְמִקְלָט מִגֹּאֵל הַדָּֽם׃
That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
וְכִי יִרְדֹּף גֹּאֵל הַדָּם אַֽחֲרָיו וְלֹֽא-יַסְגִּרוּ אֶת-הָֽרֹצֵחַ בְּיָדוֹ כִּי בִבְלִי-דַעַת הִכָּה אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ וְלֹֽא-שֹׂנֵא הוּא לוֹ מִתְּמוֹל שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם׃
And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
רַק לְמַעַן דַּעַת דֹּרוֹת בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל לְלַמְּדָם מִלְחָמָה רַק אֲשֶׁר-לְפָנִים לֹא יְדָעֽוּם׃
Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
בֶּן-אִשָּׁה אַלְמָנָה הוּא מִמַּטֵּה נַפְתָּלִי וְאָבִיו אִישׁ-צֹרִי חֹרֵשׁ נְחֹשֶׁת וַיִּמָּלֵא אֶת-הַחָכְמָה וְאֶת-הַתְּבוּנָה וְאֶת-הַדַּעַת לַֽעֲשׂוֹת כָּל-מְלָאכָה בַּנְּחֹשֶׁת וַיָּבוֹא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה וַיַּעַשׂ אֶת-כָּל-מְלַאכְתּֽוֹ׃
He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
עַֽל-דַּעְתְּךָ כִּי-לֹא אֶרְשָׁע וְאֵין מִיָּדְךָ מַצִּֽיל׃
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
כְּֽדַעְתְּכֶם יָדַעְתִּי גַם-אָנִי לֹא-נֹפֵל אָנֹכִי מִכֶּֽם׃
What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
הֶֽחָכָם יַעֲנֶה דַֽעַת-רוּחַ וִֽימַלֵּא קָדִים בִּטְנֽוֹ׃
Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
וַיֹּאמְרוּ לָאֵל סוּר מִמֶּנּוּ וְדַעַת דְּרָכֶיךָ לֹא חָפָֽצְנוּ׃
Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
הַלְאֵל יְלַמֶּד-דָּעַת וְהוּא רָמִים יִשְׁפּֽוֹט׃
Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
יֹֽשֶׁר-לִבִּי אֲמָרָי וְדַעַת שְׂפָתַי בָּרוּר מִלֵּֽלוּ׃
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
אִיּוֹב לֹא-בְדַעַת יְדַבֵּר וּדְבָרָיו לֹא בְהַשְׂכֵּֽיל׃
Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.

Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
וְאִם-לֹא יִשְׁמְעוּ בְּשֶׁלַח יַעֲבֹרוּ וְיִגְוְעוּ בִּבְלִי-דָֽעַת׃
But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
מִי זֶה׀ מַעְלִים עֵצָה בְּֽלִי דָעַת לָכֵן הִגַּדְתִּי וְלֹא אָבִין נִפְלָאוֹת מִמֶּנִּי וְלֹא אֵדָֽע׃
Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
יוֹם לְיוֹם יַבִּיעַֽ אֹמֶר וְלַיְלָה לְּלַיְלָה יְחַוֶּה-דָּֽעַת׃
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
הֲיֹסֵר גּוֹיִם הֲלֹא יוֹכִיחַ הַֽמְלַמֵּד אָדָם דָּֽעַת׃

טוּב טַעַם וָדַעַת לַמְּדֵנִי כִּי בְמִצְוֹתֶיךָ הֶאֱמָֽנְתִּי׃
Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
פְּלִיאָֽה דַעַת מִמֶּנִּי נִשְׂגְּבָה לֹא-אוּכַֽל לָֽהּ׃
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
לָתֵת לִפְתָאיִם עָרְמָה לְנַעַר דַּעַת וּמְזִמָּֽה׃

יִרְאַת יְהוָה רֵאשִׁית דָּעַת חָכְמָה וּמוּסָר אֱוִילִים בָּֽזוּ׃
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
עַד-מָתַי׀ פְּתָיִם תְּֽאֵהֲבוּ פֶתִי וְלֵצִים לָצוֹן חָמְדוּ לָהֶם וּכְסִילִים יִשְׂנְאוּ-דָֽעַת׃
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
תַּחַת כִּי-שָׂנְאוּ דָעַת וְיִרְאַת יְהוָֹה לֹא בָחָֽרוּ׃
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
אָז תָּבִין יִרְאַת יְהוָה וְדַעַת אֱלֹהִים תִּמְצָֽא׃
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

חוֹשֵׂךְ אֲמָרָיו יוֹדֵעַ דָּעַת (וקר) יְקַר-רוּחַ אִישׁ תְּבוּנָֽה׃
He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
לֵב נָבוֹן יִקְנֶה-דָּעַת וְאֹזֶן חֲכָמִים תְּבַקֶּשׁ-דָּֽעַת׃
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
גַּם בְּלֹא-דַעַת נֶפֶשׁ לֹא-טוֹב וְאָץ בְּרַגְלַיִם חוֹטֵֽא׃
Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
לֵץ תַּכֶּה וּפֶתִי יַעְרִם וְהוֹכִיחַ לְנָבוֹן יָבִין דָּֽעַת׃
Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

הֲלֹא כָתַבְתִּי לְךָ (שלשום) שָׁלִישִׁים בְּמֹעֵצוֹת וָדָֽעַת׃
Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
הָבִיאָה לַמּוּסָר לִבֶּךָ וְאָזְנֶךָ לְאִמְרֵי-דָֽעַת׃
Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
וּבְדַעַת חֲדָרִים יִמָּלְאוּ כָּל-הוֹן יָקָר וְנָעִֽים׃
And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
גֶּֽבֶר-חָכָם בַּעוֹז וְאִֽישׁ-דַּעַת מְאַמֶּץ-כֹּֽחַ׃
A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
יֹדֵעַ צַדִּיק דִּין דַּלִּים רָשָׁע לֹא-יָבִין דָּֽעַת׃
The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
וְלֹֽא-לָמַדְתִּי חָכְמָה וְדַעַת קְדֹשִׁים אֵדָֽע׃
I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
דִּבַּרְתִּי אֲנִי עִם-לִבִּי לֵאמֹר אֲנִי הִנֵּה הִגְדַּלְתִּי וְהוֹסַפְתִּי חָכְמָה עַל כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-הָיָה לְפָנַי עַל-יְרוּשָׁלִָם וְלִבִּי רָאָה הַרְבֵּה חָכְמָה וָדָֽעַת׃
I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
כִּי בְּרֹב חָכְמָה רָב-כָּעַס וְיוֹסִיף דַּעַת יוֹסִיף מַכְאֽוֹב׃
For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
כִּי-יֵשׁ אָדָם שֶׁעֲמָלוֹ בְּחָכְמָה וּבְדַעַת וּבְכִשְׁרוֹן וּלְאָדָם שֶׁלֹּא עָֽמַל-בּוֹ יִתְּנֶנּוּ חֶלְקוֹ גַּם-זֶה הֶבֶל וְרָעָה רַבָּֽה׃
For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
כִּי לְאָדָם שֶׁטּוֹב לְפָנָיו נָתַן חָכְמָה וְדַעַת וְשִׂמְחָה וְלַחוֹטֶא נָתַן עִנְיָן לֶאֱסוֹף וְלִכְנוֹס לָתֵת לְטוֹב לִפְנֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִים גַּם-זֶה הֶבֶל וּרְעוּת רֽוּחַ׃
For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
כִּי בְּצֵל הַֽחָכְמָה בְּצֵל הַכָּסֶף וְיִתְרוֹן דַּעַת הַֽחָכְמָה תְּחַיֶּה בְעָלֶֽיהָ׃
For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
כֹּל אֲשֶׁר תִּמְצָא יָֽדְךָ לַעֲשׂוֹת בְּכֹחֲךָ עֲשֵׂה כִּי אֵין מַעֲשֶׂה וְחֶשְׁבּוֹן וְדַעַת וְחָכְמָה בִּשְׁאוֹל אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה הֹלֵךְ שָֽׁמָּה׃
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
וְיֹתֵר שֶׁהָיָה קֹהֶלֶת חָכָם עוֹד לִמַּד-דַּעַת אֶת-הָעָם וְאִזֵּן וְחִקֵּר תִּקֵּן מְשָׁלִים הַרְבֵּֽה׃
And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
לָכֵן גָּלָה עַמִּי מִבְּלִי-דָעַת וּכְבוֹדוֹ מְתֵי רָעָב וַהֲמוֹנוֹ צִחֵה צָמָֽא׃
Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
וְנָחָה עָלָיו רוּחַ יְהוָה רוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה רוּחַ עֵצָה וּגְבוּרָה רוּחַ דַּעַת וְיִרְאַת יְהוָֽה׃
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
וְהָיָה אֱמוּנַת עִתֶּיךָ חֹסֶן יְשׁוּעֹת חָכְמַת וָדָעַת יִרְאַת יְהוָה הִיא אוֹצָרֽוֹ׃
And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
אֶת-מִי נוֹעָץ וַיְבִינֵהוּ וַֽיְלַמְּדֵהוּ בְּאֹרַח מִשְׁפָּט וַיְלַמְּדֵהוּ דַעַת וְדֶרֶךְ תְּבוּנוֹת יוֹדִיעֶֽנּוּ׃
With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
וְלֹא-יָשִׁיב אֶל-לִבּוֹ וְלֹא דַעַת וְלֹֽא-תְבוּנָה לֵאמֹר חֶצְיוֹ שָׂרַפְתִּי בְמוֹ-אֵשׁ וְאַף אָפִיתִי עַל-גֶּחָלָיו לֶחֶם אֶצְלֶה בָשָׂר וְאֹכֵל וְיִתְרוֹ לְתוֹעֵבָה אֶעֱשֶׂה לְבוּל עֵץ אֶסְגּֽוֹד׃
And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
מֵפֵר אֹתוֹת בַּדִּים וְקֹסְמִים יְהוֹלֵל מֵשִׁיב חֲכָמִים אָחוֹר וְדַעְתָּם יְסַכֵּֽל׃
That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
וַתִּבְטְחִי בְרָעָתֵךְ אָמַרְתְּ אֵין רֹאָנִי חָכְמָתֵךְ וְדַעְתֵּךְ הִיא שׁוֹבְבָתֶךְ וַתֹּאמְרִי בְלִבֵּךְ אֲנִי וְאַפְסִי עֽוֹד׃
For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
מִדַּעְתִּי כִּי קָשֶׁה אָתָּה וְגִיד בַּרְזֶל עָרְפֶּךָ וּמִצְחֲךָ נְחוּשָֽׁה׃
Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
מֵעֲמַל נַפְשׁוֹ יִרְאֶה יִשְׂבָּע בְּדַעְתּוֹ יַצְדִּיק צַדִּיק עַבְדִּי לָֽרַבִּים וַעֲוֺנֹתָם הוּא יִסְבֹּֽל׃
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
וְאוֹתִי יוֹם יוֹם יִדְרֹשׁוּן וְדַעַת דְּרָכַי יֶחְפָּצוּן כְּגוֹי אֲשֶׁר-צְדָקָה עָשָׂה וּמִשְׁפַּט אֱלֹהָיו לֹא עָזָב יִשְׁאָלוּנִי מִשְׁפְּטֵי-צֶדֶק קִרְבַת אֱלֹהִים יֶחְפָּצֽוּן׃
Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
נִבְעַר כָּל-אָדָם מִדַּעַת הֹבִישׁ כָּל-צוֹרֵף מִפָּסֶל כִּי שֶׁקֶר נִסְכּוֹ וְלֹא-רוּחַ בָּֽם׃
Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
דָּן דִּין-עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אָז טוֹב הֲלוֹא-הִיא הַדַּעַת אֹתִי נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.
נִבְעַר כָּל-אָדָם מִדַּעַת הֹבִישׁ כָּל-צֹרֵף מִפָּסֶל כִּי שֶׁקֶר נִסְכּוֹ וְלֹא-רוּחַ בָּֽם׃
Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
יְלָדִים אֲשֶׁר אֵֽין-בָּהֶם כָּל-(מאום) מוּם וְטוֹבֵי מַרְאֶה וּמַשְׂכִּילִים בְּכָל-חָכְמָה וְיֹדְעֵי דַעַת וּמְבִינֵי מַדָּע וַאֲשֶׁר כֹּחַ בָּהֶם לַעֲמֹד בְּהֵיכַל הַמֶּלֶךְ וּֽלֲלַמְּדָם סֵפֶר וּלְשׁוֹן כַּשְׂדִּֽים׃
Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
וְאַתָּה דָֽנִיֵּאל סְתֹם הַדְּבָרִים וַחֲתֹם הַסֵּפֶר עַד-עֵת קֵץ יְשֹׁטְטוּ רַבִּים וְתִרְבֶּה הַדָּֽעַת׃
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
שִׁמְעוּ דְבַר-יְהוָה בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי רִיב לַֽיהוָה עִם-יוֹשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ כִּי אֵין-אֱמֶת וְֽאֵין-חֶסֶד וְאֵֽין-דַּעַת אֱלֹהִים בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
נִדְמוּ עַמִּי מִבְּלִי הַדָּעַת כִּֽי-אַתָּה הַדַּעַת מָאַסְתָּ וְאֶמְאָֽסְאךָ מִכַּהֵן לִי וַתִּשְׁכַּח תּוֹרַת אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֶשְׁכַּח בָּנֶיךָ גַּם-אָֽנִי׃
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
כִּי חֶסֶד חָפַצְתִּי וְלֹא-זָבַח וְדַעַת אֱלֹהִים מֵעֹלֽוֹת׃
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
כִּֽי-שִׂפְתֵי כֹהֵן יִשְׁמְרוּ-דַעַת וְתוֹרָה יְבַקְשׁוּ מִפִּיהוּ כִּי מַלְאַךְ יְהוָֽה-צְבָאוֹת הֽוּא׃
For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
