And according to what we learned till now are the explanations of what is meant by: "Understand in wisdom and be wise in understanding" which are explained in the writings that is the 72 of the 63 (in the mystical kabbalistic numerous there are various numerical combinations of various divine names. In this particular case 72 represents Chochmah and 63, Binah) -Chochmah of Binah - which is simply to understand another new thing (interpretation, meaning, function, etc.) from the Musag of Binah but only within the original idea.
All this comes only through the exercise of Iyun (repetitive intensive analytical study), as is explained above, which is to analyze the subject matter into all of its parts with detailed identification (of each). And this is called Binah of Binah.
And only after this (process of Iyun/analysis) is it possible to give birth to new ideas and to discover in Chochmah new reaches of understanding (Binah) but only in this particular Musag. And this is called Chochmah of Binah.
However, the Crown (Kesser) of Binah is the depth of the Musag as explained above whose root reaches into the depth of Chochmah as explained above.
And understanding of wisdom (Binah of Chochmah) that is the 63 of the 72 is the inherent power of explanation within the Chochmah itself that he is able to bring it out in many different methods of explanation. This is referring to the idea the way it is above the grasp of Binah (when the idea is still a flash of inspiration within Chochmah)
Now, what they were referring to when they said "Nevonim (men of understanding) were not found (by Moses to place as judges)" this refers specifically to one who can understand something from inside of something (i.e. to understand a whole deeper wisdom) which comes from the source of this power of Binah of Chochmah which reaches into the depth of Chochmah as above. And therefore he can understand a whole different wisdom from his understanding of this wisdom. That is, his comprehension can spread from one subject matter to another because when - through his deep Iyun study of the first subject matter and the awakening of the power of Binah of Chochmah - he reaches the inner depths of Chochmah of the first subject matter, this inner depth may be the inner depth of Chochmah of other subject matters too, sometimes even deeper subject matters.
And this (power of understanding something from inside of something) is a higher level than a wise man (Chochom). That is, it is even higher than the discovery of a particular concept of Chochmah from the Ein (the ethereal, non existent state of the concept before it even came into the mind as a flash of inspiration) since the wise man cannot understand any other wisdoms or intellectual concepts out of the new inspirational discovery.
But nonetheless, when he understands through the Hasogah of Binah (the reach of the power of Understanding) into a new Hasogah (idea) within the original Hasogah (Chochmah of Binah as explained above), the root of this (power of the mind) is Binah of Chochmah (i.e. the root of Chochmah of Binah is in Binah of Chochmah) which is the power to understand something (totally new) from inside of something except that this (power of Binah of Chochmah within Chochmah of Binah) is hidden in the source of the intellect.
*NOTE - Musag = the idea in Binah.
Hassogah - Reach of Binah
sometimes used synonymously with Musag
Muskal = the idea in Chochmah
