The commentary links fear of the Lord and God’s law to work, diligence, inheritance, restitution, justice, and stewardship of wealth. It analyzes how visible success relates to covenant priorities, exposes rival inheritance programs, and warns against deceptive signals, oppression, slumber, and bribery.
