WISDOM IN THE THRONE

(9:4) Give to me Wisdom, she who sits by you on your Throne.

(9:10) Send her (Wisdom) forth from the Holy mountains, and from the throne of your glory send her, that she may be with me and toil, and that I may learn what is pleasing to you.

I Sir 24:4 ...we find Wisdom enthroned in a pillar of clouds. (Exod. 14:19; 14:24; 19:90)

The all powerful word who is closely linked with Wisdom in Wis. 9:1-2, is described as leaping from "The Royal Throne" in 18:15.

She is conceived of as "sitting" by G-D upon His Throne (Wis. 9:4), specifically the "Throne of your Glory." (Wis. 9:10) Differences in the Lxx and Mt translations:

Lxx: When he made the heavens, I was partner with Him, and he separated His Throne on the wind.

Mt: When He established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep... Circle is cyclical for the nature of return and renewal, repetition of pattern ...

The "Throne of My Glory" in Wis. 9:10 may allude to an identification of Wisdom as the Glory who is seated on the Throne. (cf Ezek. 1:26)

Similar designations are used extensively in the similitude's of Enoch when identifying the Throne.

When the Ancient of Days (47:3; 60:2) or the Lord of the Spirits (62:2-3) sits on the Divine Throne, it is identified as the "Throne of His Glory." (cf; a variant of 1 Enoch 55:4 "Throne of My Glory")

When the mysterious figure of the similitude's (identified as the elect one, son of man, or righteous one) is seated on this throne, it is usually identified as the "Throne of Glory", "My Throne" (G-D as the subject) and also "Throne of His Glory."

The elect one sits on the "Throne of Glory" in contexts in which he exercises his role as judge. (45:3; 52:3; 55:4)

The Son of man is placed on the Throne of Glory by the Lord of Spirits. (61:8)

Like the Lord of Spirits, however, the son of Man also sits on the "Throne of His Glory." (62:5; 69:29)It is possible that the "Glory" is not an adjective modifying "Throne", but a noun referring to the occupant on the Throne.

Therefore, although the "Throne of my Glory" in Wis. 9:10 is certainly referring to the Divine Throne, it could also be linking Wisdom with the enthroned Glory discussed above. This is also indicated by the prayer of Enoch. (1 En 83:3)

"Wisdom does not elude you and retreats neither from the 'place' of your throne nor from your presence."
