Exegesis
The comparative prefix me- {מֵ | mē} ‘than’ introduces the first contrast with osher rav {עֹשֶׁר רָב | ʿō-šer rāḇ} ‘abundant wealth’, followed by parallel comparatives mi-keseph {מִכֶּסֶף | mi-ḵe-sef̱} ‘than silver’ and u-mi-zahav {וּמִזָּהָב | u·mi-zā-hāḇ} ‘and than gold’.
In context — Proverbs 22:1
A name is chosen rather than abundant wealth ; good favor is better than silver and gold.
