Commentary on Proverbs 30:1
The words of Agur son of Jakeh—'the prophecy' (Hebrew 'massa'—oracle/burden). Agur's identity is debated, but his words carry divine authority as Scripture. His oracle to Ithiel and Ucal begins with profound humility (verses 2-3). This demonstrates that God's Word comes through various human authors under divine inspiration. Reformed theology affirms both divine authorship and human instrumentality in Scripture. Even obscure authors like Agur contribute to the canon under God's providence.
