Proverbs 05 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Chapter 5 continues a collection of proverbs that ends in chapter nine.
Special concepts in this chapter
My Son
Occasionally, the author addresses a proverb to "my son." This is not intended to restrict the words of that proverb to only males. Instead, it is simply a form used to pass on advice as a father does to his son.
Adulteress
This chapter is unusual because it holds a theme about the adulteress and warns the young man to avoid her. An adulteress is a woman who commits adultery. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/adultery)
