Abstract:
Proverbs 1:10-19 is situated in a pivotal place in the book, containing the first of the father-to-son instructions after the introduction of each character in 1:8-9. Yet the danger that awaits the son in Prov 1:17, the מזרה הרשׁת, is linguistically problematic. In the following, I explore the exegetical and literary nature of the passage in its context. I then examine a number of possibilities historically that could lie behind מזרה, assessing potential Proto-Semitic roots based on comparative evidence. I evaluate each possibility linguistically and literarily, confirming Michael Fox’s conclusions (though on different grounds) while also diverging from his interpretation of the passage in context.
