Quotation zu Kohelet 1:16
דִּבַּ֨רְתִּי אֲנִ֤י עִם־לִבִּי֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר אֲנִ֗י הִנֵּ֨ה הִגְדַּ֤לְתִּי וְהוֹסַ֙פְתִּי֙ חָכְמָ֔ה עַ֛ל כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־הָיָ֥ה לְפָנַ֖י עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְלִבִּ֛י רָאָ֥ה הַרְבֵּ֖ה חָכְמָ֥ה וָדָֽעַת׃
Ich dachte mir nun also: Ich habe größere und mehr Weisheit erlangt als alle, die vor mit waren über Jerusalem, und mein Herz hat geschaut viel Weisheit und Einsicht.
Footnotes to Kohelet by Bruce Heitler
The Hebrew de'a is rendered as "judgment". In contemporary Hebrew, the word de'a could also mean, "opinion". Usually, the word is translated as "knowledge". Judgment is intended to indicate that there is a faculty of accurately applying one's perception, in addition to abstract knowledge. In contemporary moral discourse, this notion is also connected to the quality of prudence.
