A. D. A

1596.—Who Is the Woman? Eccl. 7: 26-28.
Who is the woman in Eccl. 7: 26? and counting one by one in verse 27? Please explain the whole of verse 28.

A. D. A

It does not seem to be a particular woman, but a woman representing a class. See her character more fully described in Proverbs 7. "Counting one by one," means, as in the Revised Version, "laying one thing to another;" that is, comparing one thing with another. Verse 28 is a charge against the class of women that Solomon met when he was seeking pleasure. He found fewer women of character and worth in his experience than men.
