Footnotes
- 43 The first word of the ninth line begins with ט (tet), the ninth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. This is the word for “taste.” It means her opinion or perception, what she has learned by experience and therefore seems right.
- 44 The line may be taken literally to mean that she is industrious throughout the night (“burning the midnight oil”) when she must in order to follow through a business deal (W. McKane, Proverbs [], 668); cf. . But the line could also be taken figuratively, comparing “her light” to the prosperity of her household—her whole life—which continues night and day.
