A Midrashic approach: the words: תנו לה מפרי ידיה, “acknowledge her for the fruit of her hands,” refer to the opening words of the chapter “who can find a woman of valour?” The Midrash understands the whole chapter as a parable describing Torah and wisdom, something very elusive, almost impossible to attain fully. Solomon proceeds to enumerate the advantages of Torah and wisdom in order to encourage people to immerse themselves in both Torah and wisdom. He commences by saying that בטח בה לב בעלה, “the heart of someone who has mastered this discipline has absolute confidence in it.” This is why he adds ושלל לא יחסר, “such a person will never be short of ‘loot.’” It is a well known fact that people who constantly engage in the pursuit of wisdom do not experience the lack of anything.
The poor and destitute whom Solomon refers to in verse 20 are the students, who have thus far only accumulated a minimum of wisdom, not having expended sufficient effort yet to acquire it in larger doses; this is why Solomon says to people at large: “give her (wisdom) from the fruit of her hands.” Solomon encourages the people at large to treat wisdom with respect seeing it produces such good fruit, i.e. honour and glory for those who have acquired it. The fruit which are the result of the acquisition of wisdom are the good deeds man performs, as a result of which he qualifies for eternal life in the celestial spheres. Concerning this, Solomon himself wrote in Proverbs 11,30: “the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life.” He referred to the Torah being the entrance card to the tree of life, i.e. eternal life. The Torah already stated concerning the tree of life that if Adam were to eat from it “he would live forever” (Genesis 3,22).

V. 15. ויבן משה מזבח. Wie Jakob, nachdem er im nächtlichen Kampfe mit Amaleks Genius den Namen Israel errungen, im Bewusstsein dieses Namens einen "Altar zum Denkmal" baute ויצב שם מזבח. (Bamidbar 33, 20 siehe das.) und sich damit den Zuruf verewigte: אל אלקי ישראל: so baut auch hier Mosche nach dem ersten Siege über Amalek und nach der ihm offenbar gewordenen Bedeutung dieses Sieges einen "Altar zum Denkmal". Amaleks Größe ist "Zerstörung": Israels Sendung heißt "Bauen", und zwar der friedliche, menschliche Aufbau alles Irdischen zu Gott. Dieser Altarbau, diese endliche Erhebung der ganzen Erde zu einem Gottesaltare ist der Gegensatz zu Amaleks Schwert (vergl. Kap. 20, 22). Dieser Moschealtar in der Wüste beginnt den Kampf mit Amalek; darum nannte er ihn: ד׳ נסי, Gott ruft mich in den Kampf, und zeigt mir, wo ich kämpfen soll. נס ist keine Waffe und kein Schutz, נס ist das hoch emporgehaltene Zeichen, das dem Kämpfer Richtung und Ort des zu bestehenden Kampfes zeigt. Das Werk, das Gott durch Mosche beginnen und begründen ließ, hat nicht nur die Konstituierung Israels nach Innen zum Ziele. Der göttliche Aufbau alles Menschlichen in Israel hat die Bekämpfung und Überwindung alles Ungöttlichen und Unmenschlichen auf Erden zum Ziele. Dieser Bau greift nicht an, aber er wird angegriffen, wie von Amalek hier, und in dem Kampfe seiner Verteidigung geht Amalek zu Grunde.

ויסעו ממדבר סיני וגו, “they journeyed from the desert of Sinai, etc.” These journeys up until verse 20 have been explained by our author in Numbers chapters 11 and 12, up until the point from which the spies were sent out, from the desert of Paran.
