Exegesis
The verse begins with the conjunction ki {כִּֽי | qî} ‘for or when’, introducing a causal or temporal clause.
It is followed by the Qal imperfect verb tavo {תָב֣וֹא | tā-ḇōʾ} ‘will enter’, which takes chokhmah {חָכְמָ֣ה | ḥāḵmāh} ‘wisdom’ as its subject and the prepositional phrase be-libbe-kha {בְּלִבֶּ֑ךָ | bə-libbê-kā} ‘into your heart’ as its complement.
In context — Proverbs 2:10
For wisdom will come into your heart , and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul .
