THE TRUTH ABOUT THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN
Hello, my brothers and sisters,
It is still hard for me to believe we are already halfway through 2026. It is certain the days are being shortened!
The Lord recently laid it upon my heart to go back and take a magnifying glass to the topic of the Virtuous Woman of Proverbs 31, and what I found out was like nothing I have ever seen! I have included only part of my notes in this letter, but I felt led to send out all the notes to you, and I do hope you will find it as a blessing whether you are a brother or a sister.
In Proverbs 31:10 (AMPC) we read, “A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman—who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.”
In doing a word study here on this word virtuous it is #2428, which is quite a different meaning from our English word virtuous, which really limits it to ONE kind of excellence…. When the meaning in Strong’s (though includes virtuous) is much wider. Let me show you what I mean…… virtuous (in our English sense) is defined as: having or exhibiting virtue: morally excellent; righteous; chaste.
However, the actual word is Strong’s #2428 (according to the exhaustive concordance) is defined as able, activity, army, band of men soldiers, company, great forces, goods, and host!
Let it be known that this word in the Hebrew is used many times in Joshua and Judges when speaking of VALIANT warriors. It is used of ABLE men, (Exodus 18:21 & 25) and it is also used of WEALTH. (Gen 34:29; Deuteronomy 8:17-18 & Ruth 2:1) Thus, we see the much broader scope of the phenomenal description of this nature of a woman.
This would be why a woman of this stature is FAR ABOVE any precious jewels. This passage extolls the honor and dignity of this kind of woman, not only that…but the importance of this kind of woman as a mother in her home.
