AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 9:1 Wisdom has built her [spacious and sufficient] house; She has hewn out and set up her seven pillars. |
Bible Question: Does anyone know what these seven pillars might be? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Mommapbs! This is an interesting verse! The Amplified Bible states, "..set up her seven [perfect number of] pillars." It may be that the second part of this verse, which is describing the 'house of wisdom', is, in a sense "perfect", and is therefore supported by seven pillars, due to wisdom. Seven is commonly considered as a number symbolizing 'perfection.' "9:1 has built her house. Both wisdom and folly have a house to which mankind is invited (see v. 14; 7:8; 8:34), but wisdom has built her house (see note on 14:1)- for her there is no "sitting" (v.14). Cf. the virtues of the wife of noble character (31:10-27). seven pillars. Indicating a large house. Perhaps "seven" refers to seven major aspects of wisdom."
