Exegesis
The first clause foregrounds hon {הוֹן | hôn} ‘wealth’ with the Qal imperfect verb yosif {יֹסִיף | yô-sîp̄} ‘he adds’ and the noun phrase re’im rabbim {רֵעִים רַבִּים | rê-ʿîẏm rab-bîẏm} ‘friends many’.
In context — Proverbs 19:4
Wealth increases many friends, but a poor person is separated from his friend .
