It Means What?

I have always struggled with Proverbs 31. It reads like a checklist I could never finish. So I went back to the root of one word, the Hebrew eshet chayil, translated “virtuous woman.” It’s the same word used for armies, strength, and valor, and the same word used for Ruth. Come trace with me how culture turned a woman of strength into a woman who just sits still, and learn how to do a word study of your own. Proverbs 31:10, Ruth 3:11
