Proverbs 9:1
Douay-Rheims
Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars.
Rashi
Wisdom has built her house With wisdom has the Holy One, blessed be He, built the world.
she has hewn her seven pillars The seven days of Creation. Another explanation: This refers to the seven books of the Torah, since (Num. 10:35f.) “And it came about when the ark traveled...” is an individual book, as is stated in tractate Shabbath (116a).
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
