Provers 8, we assume the Bible is taking about Jesus, but the chapter starts off as if God is referrng to a women, also was before creation as was with Jesus ?
Firstly in Hebrew the word "wisdom" is of feminine gender, that is why it is described as "she". Similarly in greek too.
Some christians claim that the wisdom mentioned in Proverbs is the person Jesus. Which, God's wisdom(literally), took the human nature and became the man Jesus. They use scriptures like 1 Corinthians 1:30, "
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:". also other similar verses, too. Others believe that the above verse is irrelevant and it just means that through Jesus God has revealed His wisdom to people. GBU
Could you explain please, how does that Proverb speak about Jesus. I assume it was about Wisdom. I just assume the effeminate usage in the verse is because Wisdom like the Earth, feeds you, nourishes you and helps to grow.
