Footnotes
- 50 The perfect tense with vav following the imperatives takes on the force of an imperative here.
- 51 If the term “house” is understood literally, the proverb would mean that one should be financially secure before building a house (cf. ). If “house” is figurative for household (metonymy of subject: children or family), the proverb would mean that one should have financial security and provision before starting a family. Some English versions suggest the latter meaning by using the word “home” for “house” (e.g., , ).
