Exegesis
The prepositional comparisons ka-kasef {כַּכָּסֶף | ka-ka-séf} ‘like silver’ and ve-ka-matmonim {וְכַמָּטְמוֹנִים | wə-ka-mat-mō-nîm} ‘like hidden treasures’ form a synonymous parallelism that underscores the value and intensity of the pursuit. The energic nun in both verbs heightens the urgency and determination in the search.
In context — Proverbs 2:4
If you seek her as silver and search for her as hidden treasures .
