Proverbs 4:8
8 Esteem her highly ▼▼tn The verb is the Pilpel imperative from
סָלַל (
salal). In its ten Qal uses, it means to pile up, usually in building a road. The two uses in the doubling stems (here and
Exod 9:17) are resultative or plurative, meaning “to raise up, to exalt.” To grant her a high position implies esteeming her.
and she will exalt you;
she will honor you if you embrace her.
