Proverbs 7:16
I have decked my bed with coverings, with colored linen from Egypt.
BSB
ASV
I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
KJV
I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
With a provocative movement of a prostitute, with a disrupted gait through delights, with wandering eyes, and with playful darting of her eyelids, she captures the precious souls of young men (for the eye of a prostitute is a snare of a sinner), and with doubtful perception, she accosts anyone passing by in the corner of her house, with charming words, causing the hearts of young men to flutter, restless at home, wandering in the streets, prodigal with kisses, cheap in modesty, rich in attire, painted cheeks.
I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,.... Made use of by the ancients (o) for bed clothes: beautiful ornaments, as Gersom; and precious garments, as Jarchi.
I have decked my bed - ערשי arsi, “my couch or sofa;” distinguished from משכבי mishcabi, “my bed,” Pro 7:17, the place to sleep on, as the other was the place to recline on at meals. The tapestry, מרבדים marbaddim, mentioned here seems to refer to the covering of the sofa; exquisitely woven and figured cloth. חטבות אטון chatuboth etun, the Targum translates painted carpets, such as were manufactured in Egypt; some kind of embroidered or embossed stuff is apparently meant.
