Footnotes
- 17 The personification of wisdom continues with the bestowal of a wreath for the head (e.g., 1:9). The point is that grace will be given to the individual like a wreath about the head.
- 18 The verb מָגַן (magan) is a Piel (denominative) verb from the noun “shield.” Here it means “to bestow” ( 171 ).
- 19 This verse uses wedding imagery: The wife (wisdom) who is embraced by her husband (the disciple) will place the wedding crown on the head of her new bridegroom. Wisdom, like a virtuous wife, will crown the individual with honor and grace.
