Proverbs 27:26 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The lambs are for thy clothing; by their wool and skins, either used to clothe thyself with or sold to purchase all manner of clothing for thyself and family. The goats are the price of the field; by the sale whereof thou mayst either pay the rent of the field which thou hirest, or purchase fields or lands for thyself. Either goats are put for all cattle, or he mentions goats, because these might better be spared and sold than sheep, which brought a more certain and constant profit to the owner.

Proverbs 27:26

26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.
