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.
