Pro 7:20 | NETfull | 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; ^{▼▼ Heb “in his hand.”}
he will not return until ^{▼▼ Heb “he will come back at.”} the end of the month.” ^{▼▼ 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.}
