1 | Pay attention to literary techniques | Prov 8:22 | userdoe214 | 7831 | ||
Be careful: if the writer is using the common literary technique of personification, then don't push the literal use of words too hard. At this point the writer (Solomon) is writing poetry, so read it like poetry and get his lesson about the value of wisdom (knowledge plus goodness). But as you may suspect, readers of old were supposed to be scratching their bearded chins (or in the case of women just their chins), wondering if this were some reference to a real person--maybe the one later spoken of by John "In the beginning was the Word..." Did that answer your question? Sometimes I can be a twit. mrk |
