1 | Proverbs 30 meaning? | Proverbs | Shlomoh | 59507 | ||
Proverbs 30 meaning? Greetings my fellow brethen, I am reading the chapter of Proverbs 30 and is having some trouble understanding it. Well the NIV version starts off like this "Sayings of Agur 1 The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh-an oracle:" Like the rest of the book, Solomon seemed to write it but for chapter 30, it looks like Solomon is quoting another person Agur. So who is Agur? The rest of the chapter has a few interesting constructs to it. Like ... three things that ... four that ... But after these contructs, they are always the four things. So what are the three things? An example: 18 "There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand: 19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a maiden. So what are the three that are amazing? Anyone care to enlighten me? Thanks. Best Regards, Luke |

2 | Proverbs 30 meaning? | Proverbs | glory777 | 59508 | ||
According to the notes in the Spirit filled life Bible, Agur's identity is unknown as is the author of Prov. 31. The verses with three...four is a rhetorical means of indicating that the lists are not intended to be exhaustive of their respective subjects. In other words, just a poetic form of giving examples that could go on and on. Peace in Jesus- Debbie |
