Commentary on Proverbs 8:23
Wisdom was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before earth existed. The Hebrew 'nasak' (set up/established/appointed) and 'olam' (everlasting/eternity) emphasize wisdom's preexistence. Before temporal creation, wisdom existed eternally. This verse moves from v.22's 'beginning of His way' to 'from everlasting' - pushing back beyond creation to eternity. Wisdom is eternal, not contingent; absolute, not relative.
