Exegesis
The abstract plural phrase totseʼot ḥayyîm {תּוֹצְא֥וֹת חַיִּים | tôṣʾōṯ ḥayyîm} ‘outgoings of life’ portrays the manifold expressions of one’s inner life. In English, a superlative construction and a causal clause reflect the Hebrew comparative and explanatory structure.
In context — Proverbs 4:23
Guard your heart more than any safeguarding , for from it come the sources of life .
