Exegesis

This parallels in synonymous parallelism the jussive ve’al-tikrav {וְאַל־תִּ֝קְרַ֗ב | wə-ʾal-ti-qrav} ‘and do not approach,’ which introduces el-petach {אֶל־פֶּתַח | el-pe-ṭaḥ} ‘to the entrance’ and concludes with beitah {בֵּיתָהּ | bē-tāh} ‘her house.’ The shift from abstract path to concrete threshold heightens the admonitory force, while the consistent clause pattern emphasizes the warning’s severity.

In contextProverbs 5:8

Put your way far from her, and do not approach the doorway of her house .
