The Proverbs

by Tybdale Old Testament Commentary, Derek Kidner (Introduction), D.J. Wiseman (Editor)

This is one book in a series of Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries. The aim of the series is to provide the student of the Bible with a handy, up-to-date commentary on each book, this being Proverbs, with the primary emphasis on exegesis. Major critical questions are discussed in the introduction and additional notes, while undue technicalities have been avoided. In the Old Testament in particular no single English translation is adequate to reflect the original text. The authors of these commentaries therefore freely quote various versions, or give their own translation, in the endeavor to make the more difficult passages or words meaningful today. Where necessary, words from the Hebrew (and Aramaic) Massoretic Text underlying their studies are transliterated. This will help the reader who may be unfamiliar with the Semitic languages to identify the word under discussion and thus to follow the argument.
