∙ 8y agoIn modern Jewish belief, various passages in Proverbs and the Wisdom literature are regarded as personification. However, the passages are considered by biblical scholars to have referred originally to the spirit/goddess, Wisdom.
Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that Jewish thinkers like Philo dared to imagine the logos ( reason) as the divine son and sophia (wisdom) as the divine consort of God, and call them second level divine beings through whom God had created the world.

In the Talmud is Wisdom ever personified?
The Talmud discusses verses in which Wisdom is poetically personified (Proverbs 7:4), as are the day and night (Psalms 19:3), the Earth (Jeremiah 22:29), and tens of other items and ideals. This is traditionally seen as a literary device in order to convey some concept; and no foreign significance should be read into it. Note that in Hebrew there is no neutral gender; everything is grammatically masculine or feminine, including concepts and inanimate things.

What was Sophia's duty in the Bible?
A:Sophia is the Greek word for wisdom, so whenever we see 'wisdom' in the Bible, we could replace this by 'sophia'. Some of these references are actually to a spirit/goddess called Wisdom, or 'Lady Wisdom'. She appears in the Book of Proverbs and some other early Jewish writings. and is mentioned in the gospels. Sophia entered Jewish belief during or after the Babylonian Exile, but B. Lang (Wisdom and the Book of Proverbs: An Israelite Goddess Redefined) says that Wisdom, or Sophia, was also the pre-Exilic Hebrew goddess of wisdom. Her veneration or worship continued until around the end of the first century CE. Wisdom/Sophia was with God at creation. Proverbs 8:23-31:"The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. "
