ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף קהלת 2:14

enlighten you with the gift of His knowledge -- He granted you of His knowledge, as our sages said: "[On seeing the Sages of Israel one should say: Blessed be He] who has imparted of His wisdom to them that fear Him" (Berachot 58a). Wisdom is called "light", for "the fool walks in darkness" (Eccl. 2:14), and "wisdom excels folly, as light excels darkness" (Eccl. 2:13). And since He granted of His wisdom to His people, He called them His "treasured people".

Men who are desired. The word כסופים is an expression of חמוד (desirable), i.e., the people desire them, for they speak clearly and they do not speak longer than necessary. Another explanation is: The word כסופים is an expression of בושה (shame). I.e., they are ashamed of their wrongdoings. And when they desire to do an action, they consider the outcome [of their actions] beforehand, in order not to be ashamed from it. And such a person is called a חכם (wise person), as the verse says, “The wise look [ahead] from the beginning (Koheles 2:14).” This is also stated in Pirkei Avos (2:13), “Do not consider yourself to be wicked in your own eyes.”

ועתה ירא פרעה איש נבון וחכם, “and now, let Pharaoh seek out a discerning and wise man.” Joseph meant that there was now a need for a discerning and wise man to be appointed as being in charge of the land of Egypt, i.e. וישיתהו על ארץ מצרים, “who would have authority over all the people in Egypt.” He employed the term נבון as an attribute of someone who is discerning enough to establish a fair rationing system, a system which allowed for the sizes of the different families. Such a man, after having provided for the needs of the local population first, could export the surplus to other paying customers. He added the word חכם, “wise,” as an additional attribute of such an economic czar to describe someone who knew how to prevent the stored surpluses of the next seven years from rotting or otherwise becoming unfit to eat. Joseph’s suggestions were designed to promote his own appointment to this position. According to Nachmanides, Joseph displayed the truism of Solomon’s statement (Kohelet 2,14) that החכם עיניו בראשו, “the wise man has eyes in his head.”
