Commentary on Proverbs 8:22
The LORD possessed wisdom at creation's beginning, before His works of old. The Hebrew 'qanah' (possess/create/acquire) describes wisdom's primordial existence. Wisdom isn't created thing but eternal attribute of God, possessed before creation. John 1:1-3 echoes this: 'In the beginning was the Word...all things were made by him.' Wisdom/Word/Christ existed eternally with God, instrumental in creation. This grounds wisdom in God's eternal being.
