Proverbs 31:22
She makes coverings for her bed; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
BSB
ASV
She maketh for herself carpets of tapestry; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
KJV
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry - 13. She is not regardless either of her own person, or of the decent, proper appearance of her presses and wardrobe. She has coverings or carpeting for her guests to sit upon; she has also tapestry, מרבדים marbaddim, either tapestry, carpeting, or quilted work for her beds; and her own clothing is שש shesh, fine flax, or linen cloth, and purple; probably for a cloak or mantle. The fine linen or cotton cloth of Egypt is probably intended.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
