Intelligence Brief
God asks who put 'chokmah' (wisdom) in the 'tuchot' (inward parts) and 'binah' (understanding) in the 'sekvi' (mind/heart). The terms are debated — 'tuchot' may refer to internal organs associated with intuition; 'sekvi' may mean the rooster (whose crowing signals dawn) or the mind. Either way, the point is clear: creatures have wisdom they did not acquire. The rooster knows when to crow; humans have intuitions they cannot explain. This wisdom is installed, not earned. The scarlet thread: Christ is 'the wisdom of God' (1 Corinthians 1:24), and in him 'are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge' (Colossians 2:3).
