Exegesis

The distributive yahev {יָהֵב | yā-hêv} ‘gives’ leads into two parallel clauses: chokmeta {חָכְמְתָא | ḥāḵ-mə-ṯā} ‘wisdom’ for lekhakkimin {לְחַכִּימִין | lə-ḥak-kî-mīn} ‘the wise’, and mandea {וּמַנְדְּעָא | ū-man-də-ʿā} ‘knowledge’ for those denoted by leyadei vinah {לְיָדְעֵי בִינָה | lə-yad-ʿê vî-nā} ‘those knowing understanding’. The structure is preserved in translation by maintaining verb-first clauses and connectives for natural flow.
