Proverbs 7:20

7:20 He has taken a bag of money with him; ¹ 

he will not return until ²  the end of the month.” ³ 

[7:20]  ¹ tn Heb “in his hand.”

[7:20]  ² tn Heb “he will come back at.”

[7:20]  ³ tn Heb “new moon.” Judging from the fact that the husband took a purse of money and was staying away until the next full moon, the woman implies that they would be safe in their escapade. If v. 9 and v. 20 are any clue, he could be gone for about two weeks – until the moon is full again.
