Wisdom
Wisdom is in the Bible always linked with wise living. To have wisdom is the same as having a skill; to be wise is to be skilful at living well. In the Biblical understanding skill and wisdom are two sides of the same coin. We could say that in the Bible wisdom is the same as the skill of living according to God�s intention. The benefit of wisdom is that it does everything right, it is skilful in mastering the diverse situations of life to bring blessing to everyone.
God is telling Moses that when the covenant community of the people of God lived according to the Word of God they would be viewed as a wise community and a people of understanding of righteous living. Through applying the Law of God in everyday living the nation of Israel was to demonstrate the wisdom of God. They had to put the ideals, concepts, philosophy, ethics and the politics of the Kingdom of God to work by carefully observing the commandments of God. Living according to the Word of God will always bring righteousness, peace and joy, that is harmony, to a society and causing other peoples to acknowledge the wisdom of that kind of living and help them to believe the theology behind it and put their trust in God.
