Definitions for Proverbs 5:18
Clarke's Proverbs 5:18 Bible Commentary
Let thy fountain be blessed - יהי מקורך ברוך yehi mekorecha baruch. Sit vena tua benedicta. Thy vein; that which carries off streams from the fountain of animal life, in order to disperse them abroad, and through the streets. How delicate and correct is the allusion here! But anatomical allusions must not be pressed into detail in a commentary on Scripture.

5:18 Fountain - Thy wife. Blessed - With children; for barrenness was esteemed a curse among the Israelites.
