Henrey’s Commentary

Pro 17:3 -

Note, 1. The hearts of the children of men are subject, not only to God's view, but to his judgment: As the fining-pot is for silver, both to prove it and to improve it so the Lord tries the hearts; he searches whether they are standard or no, and those that are he refines and makes purer. God tries the heart by affliction and often chooses his people in that furnace and makes them choice. 2. It is God only that tries the hearts. Men may try their silver and gold with the fining-pot and the furnace, but they have no such way of trying one another's hearts; God only does that, who is both the searcher and the sovereign of the heart.

Father

A man who has begotten a child. The father of the family provided the strength, support and structure to the household. The father fulfilled many functions for the family. He was the commander of the family army, provider of offspring to continue the family line, the priest and teacher. A father could have been of the immediate family or a lineage such as Jacob, who is the father of the Israelites. A father could have also been the patron of a profession or art. This word can also be fresh fruit (pronounced eyv), the father of the next generation of trees attached to the tree (pole). [masc] [AHLB: 1002-A (N)] [Strong's:  H1, H2, H3, H4]

Purim

Pu'rim. (lots). Purim, the annual festival instituted to commemorate the preservation of the Jews in Persia, from the massacre with which they were threatened , through the machinations of Haman. Est_9:1. It was, probably, called Purim, by the Jews, in irony. Their great enemy, Haman, appears to have been very superstitious, and much given to casting lots. Est_3:7. They gave the name, Purim, or "Lots," to the commemorative festival, because he had thrown lots to ascertain what day would be auspicious for him to carry into effect, the bloody decree which the king had issued at his instance. Est_9:24.

The festival lasted two days, and was regularly observed on the 14th and 15th of Adar. According to modern custom, as soon as the stars begin to appear, when the 14th of the month has commenced, candles are lighted up in token of rejoicing, and the people assemble in the synagogue. After a short prayer and thanksgiving, the reading of the book of Esther commences.
