Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

גֶּֽבֶר־חָכָ֥ם & וְ⁠אִֽישׁ־דַּ֝֗עַת

man wise & and,man_of knowledge

Although the term man is masculine, the writer is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “Any person of wisdom … and any person of knowledge”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

גֶּֽבֶר־חָכָ֥ם

man wise

Here, the writer is using the possessive form to describe a man who is characterized by wisdom. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “A wise man”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חָכָ֥ם בַּ⁠ע֑וֹז & דַּ֝֗עַת & כֹּֽחַ

wise in/on/at/with,strength & knowledge & ability

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of wisdom, strength, knowledge, and power, you could express the same ideas in other ways. See how you translated wisdom in [1:2](../01/02.md) and knowledge in [1:4](../01/04.md). Alternate translation: “what is wise is with what is strong … what is knowledgeable … what is powerful”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

Here, the writer is using the possessive form to describe a man who is characterized by knowledge. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “and a knowledgeable man”
