Pay Close Attention to “The Way” That Woman Walks

This is the fourth in a series of articles that explain the nature and purpose of the Hebrew Scriptures. It builds on information presented in the January, April, and July 1997 issues as well as the January 1998 issue. It explains the basic parabolic imagery standing behind the parables in the Book of Proverbs (which should actually be called “The Book of Parables”). It touches briefly on the Hebrew idiom “build a house.”
