Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction u in ubeit haver {וּבֵ֥ית חָֽבֶר | û-beit ḥā-ver} ‘and in a shared house’ parallels the first clause, heightening the contrast. The Hebrew comparative syntax is rendered by paralleling “better … than” and retaining the infinitive form. The juxtaposition of solitary danger with domestic discord underscores the proverb’s message.
In context — Proverbs 25:24
It is better to dwell on the corner of a rooftop than with a quarrelsome woman and in a shared house .
