Proverbs 7:8

He was passing by the street near her corner, making his way ¹  along the road to her house ² 

Jud 16:1; 2Sa 11:2,3; Pr 4:14,15; Pr 5:8; 1Co 6:18; 2Ti 2:22; Jude 1:23

¹ tn The verb צָעַד (tsa’ad) means “to step; to march.” It suggests that the youth was intentionally making his way to her house. The verb is the imperfect tense; it stresses continual action parallel to the active participle that began the verse, but within a context that is past time.

² tn Heb “way of her house.” This expression uses an adverbial accusative of location, telling where he was marching along. The term “house” is the genitive of location, giving the goal.
