Proverbs 7:20 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.

He hath taken a bag of money with him - literally, in his hand. This shows he is gone a long journey, and for some time, or he would not need so much money.

(And) will come home at the day appointed - or else, at the day of the full moon. Not until then; so you need have no fear х keece' (H3677), either from kaacah (H3680), to cover, when the moon is covered by the sun; or from kaacac (H3699), to count; hence, to fix or appoint a time].
