Pengkhotbah 4:9

Labor is Beneficial When Its Rewards Are Shared

4:9 Two people are better than one,

because they can reap ⁹  more benefit ¹⁰  from their labor.

[19:3]  ¹ tn The Hebrew verb פָּצַר (patsar, “to press, to insist”) ironically foreshadows the hostile actions of the men of the city (see v. 9, where the verb also appears). The repetition of the word serves to contrast Lot to his world.

[21:8]  ² tn Heb “made.”

[21:8]  ³ sn Children were weaned closer to the age of two or three in the ancient world, because infant mortality was high. If an infant grew to this stage, it was fairly certain he or she would live. Such an event called for a celebration, especially for parents who had waited so long for a child.

[31:54]  ⁴ tn The construction is a cognate accusative with the verb, expressing a specific sacrifice.

[31:54]  ⁵ tn Heb “bread, food.” Presumably this was a type of peace offering, where the person bringing the offering ate the animal being sacrificed.

[12:18]  ⁶ tn Here ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used as a generic and refers to both men and women.

[12:14]  ⁷ sn The references to peace and holiness show the close connection between this paragraph and the previous one. The pathway toward “holiness” and the need for it is cited in Heb 12:10 and 14. More importantly Prov 4:26-27 sets up the transition from one paragraph to the next: It urges people to stay on godly paths (Prov 4:26, quoted here in v. 13) and promises that God will lead them in peace if they do so (Prov 4:27 [LXX], quoted in v. 14).

[12:1]  ⁸ tn Grk “having such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us.”

[4:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “they have.”

[4:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “a good reward.”
