Proverbs 7:20 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. He hath taken - Literally, "The money bag he hath taken in his hand." He is gone a journey of itinerant merchandising. This seems to be what is intended.

And will come home at the day appointed - ליום הכסא leyom hakkase, the time fixed for a return from such a journey. The Vulgate says, "at the full moon." The Targum, "the day of the assembly." In other words, He will return by the approaching festival.
