Surface Forms
Morphology
God's + wisdom
The phrase is a simple possessive construction: 'God's' (belonging to God) combined with 'wisdom' (ability to make wise decisions), so the meaning 'wisdom possessed by God' is directly inferable from the parts by a B1 learner who knows both words. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common, so while theological nuances (e.g. 'infinite' or 'perfect') may need context, the basic meaning is transparent.
Etymology
God's Wisdom comes from the image of God as someone who knows everything, like a lamp that lights every road and choice. So God's Wisdom means 'perfect, all-knowing wisdom' that guides people.
