- Rather, as Houbigant renders, "apt to understand wisdom, to acquire knowledge, and to attain science;" for it was not a knowledge of the sciences, but merely a capacity to learn them, that was required. "Danielª answeredª° and said,ª° Blessedª° beª° the nameª of¹ Godª for² ever² and ever:ªª¹ for¹ wisdomª and mightª are² his: ... And he¹ changethª° the timesª and the seasons:ª he removethª° kings,ª and setteth upª° kings:ª he givethª° wisdomª unto the wise,ª and knowledgeª to them that knowª° understanding:ª" {Dan 2:20-21} + "There isª a manª in thy kingdom,ª in whom¹ [is] the spiritª of the holyª gods;ª and in the daysª of thy fatherª lightª and understandingª and wisdom,ª like the wisdomª of the gods,ª was foundª° in him; whom the kingª Nebuchadnezzarª thy father,ª the king,ª [I say], thy father,ª madeª° masterª of the magicians,ª astrologers,ª Chaldeans,ª [and] soothsayers;ª°" {Dan 5:11} + "Wisdomª strengthenethª° the wiseª more than tenª¹ mightyª [men] which¹ are¹ in the city.ª" {Ecc 7:19} + "Andª Mosesª was learnedª° in allª the wisdomª of the Egyptians,ª andª wasª° mightyª inª wordsª andª inª deeds.ª" {Act 7:22}
