Proverbs 31:24
She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchants.
BSB
ASV
She maketh linen garments and selleth them, And delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
KJV
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it,.... She not only seeks wool and flax, and spins it, but makes it up into fine linen, which she disposes of to advantage to herself and family. Kimchi says (y), the word signifies coverings for the night, as well as day he seems to design linen sheets: the Arabic version adds, and "sells it to the inhabitants of Bosra."
She maketh fine linen, and selleth it - 15. She is here remarkable for carrying on a traffic of splendid and ornamental dresses, or habits, as she is, Pro 31:13, for “a coarser manufacture,” The סדון sidon is supposed to come from the Arabic; and to signify a kind of loose inner garment, shirt, chemise, or fine muslin covering. Some of these are so exceedingly fine, like the abrooam, that when spread on the grass, they are scarcely discernible.
