Exegesis
The conjunction ve links da‘at {וְדַ֖עַת | wə-ḏa‛-at} ‘knowledge’ as a secondary focus, and emtsa ‘I find’ actively discovers that knowledge along with mezimot {מְזִמּ֣וֹת | mə-zim-mōṯ} ‘schemes’ in construct relationship, yielding “knowledge of schemes.” The sequence—dwelling then finding—exemplifies Hebrew poetic accumulation, emphasizing Wisdom’s inseparable bond with prudent counsel and strategic planning.
