31:21She is not49 afraid of the snow50 for her household,
for all of her household are clothed with scarlet.51
Footnotes
- 49 The first word of the twelfth line begins with ל (lamed), the twelfth letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
- 50 “Snow” is a metonymy of adjunct; it refers to the cold weather when snow comes. The verse is saying that this time is not a concern for the wise woman because the family is well prepared.
- 51 For the ’s “scarlet” the and the Latin have “two” or “double”—the difference being essentially the vocalization of a plural as opposed to a dual. The word is taken in the versions with the word that follows (“covers”) to means “double garments.” The question to be asked is whether scarlet would keep one warm in winter or double garments. The latter is the easier reading and therefore suspect.
