Pro 7:20 | NET2full | STEP | He has taken a bag of money with him ; he will not return until the end of the month .”

‏ Proverbs 7:20

20 He has taken a bag of money with him; ^{▼▼tn Heb “in his hand.”}
he will not return until ^{▼▼tn Heb “he will come back to his home at.”} the end of the month.” ^{▼▼tn Heb “new moon.” Judging from the fact that the husband took a purse of money and was staying away until the next full moon, the woman implies that they would be safe in their escapade. If v. 9 and v. 20 are any clue, he could be gone for about two weeks—until the moon is full again.}
