  1. Proverbs 31

    Chapter 31 of the Book of Proverbs Book of Proverbs in the Hebrew Bible , is presented as advice which Lemuel biblical king Lemuel s mother gave to him, about how a virtuous king should reign, and also detailing the attributes of a virtuous wife or ideal woman. The second section of text of this chapter directs women to be industrious and fear the Lord. The woman is the topic of numerous Bible studies and Christian women s ministries. The 10th to 31st verses of the chapter are called Eisheth ayil . It is a praise of the good wife, a definition of a perfect wife or ideal woman in Judaism . This Woman of Worth has been described as the personification of wisdom, the ideal wife of an ancient patriarchal imagination, or in some sense as a description of a particular class of Women in Israel, Persia, Syria Palestine or in Hellenistic society or on all those levels. ref Sandoval, Timothy J. The Discourse of Wealth and Poverty in the Book of Proverbs, ISBN 90 04 14492 7, p. 201 ref It is one of the thirteen alphabetical acrostic poems in the Bible. Traditionally, the Eisheth ayil was viewed as written by Solomon King Solomon and many prominent theologians continue to hold this belief. However there is a more recent branch of Higher criticism critical scholarship which suggests it was added to Proverbs later. This chapter is recited on Friday night, before Shabbat dinner in some Jewish homes. Some see this as a praise directed from the husband to his wife. It has also been suggested that the son in Proverbs 31 is King Solomon, receiving advice from Bathsheba, herself the wife of a king. ref The Proverbs Principle by Shari Beck ISBN 978 0 595 47454 7 ref The word chayil ... a tune to verses 26 28 http www.proverbs31mama.org Typical Proverbs 31 Women s Ministry Notes reflist Category Hebrew Bible chapters Category Jewish prayer and ritual texts Category Proverbs Category Ancient Middle Eastern wisdom literature Category Book of Proverbs ceb Mulierem fortem fr Proverbes ...   more details

  1. Midrash Proverbs

    Rabbinical Literature Midrash Proverbs Hebrew is the haggadic midrash to the Book of Proverbs , first mentioned under the title Midrash Mishle by R. Hananeel b. ushiel first half of the 11th century as quoted in the Mordekai on B.M. iii. 293. Nathan of Rome calls this midrash Agadat Mishle Aruk , s.v. . It was, besides, called erroneously Shocher Tov ed. Zolkiev, 1800 Benjacob , O ar ha Sefarim, p. 302, Nos. 449 451 , a name by which Midrash Tehillim is known. The midrash has not been preserved entire for there are no comments whatever on several chapters, e.g., on iii., vii., and xviii., and others have been annotated only in part. The editor of the Yal u used some portions of this midrash which are now missing, although it may be assumed that not all the sentences which he included in his work with the statement that they were taken from this midrash were really a part of the Midrash Mishle which he had at hand comp. S. Buber , Midrash Mishle, Introduction, p. 5b . Form This midrash is different from all the other haggadic midrashim in that its interpretations approach the simple exegesis then in vogue, being brief and free from the prolixity found in the other midrashim, so that this work is in the form of a commentary rather than in that of a midrash. The interpretations follow immediately upon the words of the text, without the introductory formulas found in the other midrashim, as Scripture says, or Rabbi N. N. began the latter formula, however, occurs at the beginning of the midrash. The editor of the midrash drew upon the Mishnah , Tosefta , Mekilta , Sifre , Pesi ta de Rab Kahana , Abot de Rabbi Natan , Bereshit Rabbah , Wayi ra Rabbah , Ecclesiastes Rabbah , Canticles Rabbah , and the Babylonian Talmud .
