Torah in Proverbs
Excerpt
Proverbs knows of torah as advice of a parent (1:8; 3:1) or a sage (13:14). Torah is paralleled to reproof (1:8), command (3:1), and a good lesson (4:2). Although many of the occurrences of torah here are in the sense of general wisdom, the specific use of torah as religious instruction appears also (28:9; 29:18). More
