- Proverbs 31:22
She makes coverings for her bed; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Commentary on Proverbs 31:222 voices
She maketh herself coverings of tapestry - 13. She is not regardless either of her own person, or of the decent, proper appearance of her presses and wardrobe. She has coverings or carpeting for her guests to sit upon; she has also tapestry, מרבדים marbaddim, either tapestry, carpeting, or quilted work for her beds; and her own clothing is שש shesh, fine flax, or linen cloth, and purple; probably for a cloak or mantle. The fine linen or cotton cloth of Egypt is probably intended.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
The beauty of a good thing pleases the more, if it be shown under various aspects. For those are good things, whereof the texture of the priestly robe was the token, that is to say, either the Law or the church, which latter has made two garments for her spouse, as it is written—the one of action, the other of spirit, weaving together the threads of faith and works.
Ambrose of Milan· Exposition of the Christian Faith 2, INTRODUCTION 11, 397Patristic
