She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; She hath also furnished her table:
KJV
She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
She hath killed her beasts,.... Or, "her sacrifice" (d): a crucified Christ, the principal of the provisions in Wisdom's house, or the church of Christ. The death of Christ was prefigured by the slaying of beasts for sacrifice under the old law; was foretold in prophecy, and is expressed by "killing" him in the New Testament; and which shows his death not to be natural, but violent.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
