Footnotes
- 96 The noun חָכְמָה (khokhmah, “wisdom”) is the abstract feminine plural form. It probably functions as a plural of intensity, stressing the all-embracing, elevated wisdom (W. McKane, Proverbs [], 272). As in 8:1–9:11, Wisdom is personified as a righteous woman in 1:20–33.
- 97 The verb רָנַן (ranan, “to cry out, give a ringing cry”) always expresses excitement, whether of joyful praise or lamentable sorrow ( 943 ). Here it is an excited summons.
- 98 Heb “she gives her voice.” The expression means to shout loudly ( 679 נָתַן Qal.x).
- 99 The word רְחֹבוֹת (rékhovot, “plazas”) refers to the wide plazas or broad open spaces near the gate where all the people assembled. The personification of wisdom as a woman crying out in this place would be a vivid picture of the public appeal to all who pass by.
