Fey ending Proverbs 1:7
Posted: Sun Dec 21, 2014 11:35 pm
I noticed that many verse in Proverbs end with a sof pasuq (basically, a colon), but not all (11:15 doesn't).
Chapter 1 verse 7 ends with the letter Fey that follows the sof pasuq. What does the letter Fey mean at the end of Proverbs 1:7?
I was looking at the Hebrew text because I want to understand when verses should be grouped together as one passage, and I want to understand when verses are part of separate passages. I know the book of Proverbs was not written in it's entirety all at once, and I would like to identify which portions of the book were written together so as to convey a coherent message.
In other words - if the book of Proverbs is a completed puzzle, I would like to identify the boundaries of the individual puzzle pieces.
Thank you,
