Challenging long-held beliefs, this groundbreaking study re-evaluates the origins of the earliest material in the book of Proverbs, traditionally viewed as pedagogical texts for future royal administrators. By drawing on evidence from ancient Near Eastern cultures, the author argues that existing interpretations are based on discredited assumptions. This fresh perspective not only reshapes the understanding of Proverbs but also has significant implications for the study of ancient Israelite society and history.
