User-Posted Comments on Proverbs 5:18
The inseparable particle translated there as "In" is most often translated as "From," but that makes no sense in English. With the Hebrew verb used in this verse, this prefix altogether probably means "Get Pleasure from."

Want desperately to know if the word "in" is actually in the Hebrew or inferred by usage. If not, the phrase "rejoice in the wife of your youth" could translate "rejoice (delight) the wife of your youth". This changes the focus of what I as a husband am to do. I do not rejoice in my wife, I do things to make my wife rejoice.
