Prov 7
אִשָּׁה זָרָה (“adulterous woman”)
מַרְבַדִּים (“covers”)
עֶרֶשׂ (“bed”)
חֲטֻבוֹת (“embroidered fabric”)
אֵטוּן (“linen”)
מִשְׁכָּב (“bedding”)
מֹר (“myrrh”)
אֲהָלִים (“aloe”)
קִנָּמוֹן (“cinnamon”) - Opis:
- The Book of Proverbs abounds in characteristic and often very ambivalent vocabulary. Ambiguity of symbolism can also be found in smaller thematic units, a particular example being the passage of Prov 7:16–17, in which a strange, adulterous woman encourages a young man to engage in fornication. The terms used in the text for the bed and its decoration also referred to funerary practices. Myrrh was known as an aphrodisiac, but was also associated with funeral rites. When mixed with aloe and cinnamon, it made an ointment used to anoint the bodies of the dead, among other things. Cinnamon, the third ingredient in the perfume in Prov 7:17, was used to eliminate the odour of bodies at burial. The term used to refer to the bed was also used in the description of a burial site. A young man, tempted by a harlot woman to commit adultery, is actually being prepared for death (Prov 7:22–23.26–27).
