Midrash sa Mga Kawikaan 31:27: Midrash Tanchuma, Midrash Tanchuma Buber & Bereshit Rabbah

צ֭וֹפִיָּה הֲלִיכ֣וֹת בֵּיתָ֑הּ וְלֶ֥חֶם עַ֝צְל֗וּת לֹ֣א תֹאכֵֽל׃

Binabantayan niya ang mga lakad ng kanyang sambahayan, at hindi siya kumakain ng tinapay ng katamaran.

Midrash Tanchuma

Who perceiveth that her merchandise is good (Prov. 31:18). That was when the kings attacked them, as it is written: And he divided himself against them by night (Gen. 14:15). She stretcheth out her hand to the poor (Prov. 31:19), by giving food to passers-by. Yea, she reacheth forth her hand to the needy (ibid., v. 20); for she gave charity and clothed the naked. She is not afraid of the snow for her household (ibid., v. 21); that is, she did not fear Gehenna. And why not? Because her entire household possessed garments (shanim, punning on shnayim, “two”) (ibid.): Sabbath and circumcision. She maketh for herself coverlets (ibid., v. 22): These were the priestly garments. From the fruit of her hand she planted a vineyard (ibid., v. 16). This refers to Israel, as it is said: For a vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel (Isa. 5:7). Her husband is known in the gates (Prov. 31:23); that is, when he pleaded with the sons of Seth: Give me a possession of a burial place (Gen. 23:4). She maketh linen garments (Prov. 31:24) refers to the circumcision that took place, as it is said: The counsel of the Lord is with them that fear Him (Ps. 25:14). Strength and dignity are her clothing (Prov. 31:25) alludes to the clouds of glory that encircled her tent. She openeth her mouth with wisdom (ibid. 39:26). When was that? When she said to Abraham: Go, I pray thee, unto thy handmaid (Gen. 16:2). She looketh well to the ways of her household (Prov. 31:27) indicates that she watched every day for the return of the angel who had informed her: I will certainly return unto thee (Gen. 18:10).

Midrash Tanchuma Buber

(Gen. 19:24:) FROM THE LORD. What is written before the verse (in Gen. 19:1): THEN THE TWO ANGELS CAME TO SODOM IN THE EVENING.74See Gen. R. 50:2. Elsewhere (in Gen. 18:2) three came to Abraham, as stated: WHEN HE RAISED HIS EYES, HE LOOKED, AND BEHOLD, THREE PERSONS. But here there are two, as stated (in Gen. 19:1): THEN THE TWO ANGELS CAME. It is simply that the Holy One sent three angels, each one individually to perform his < own particular > mission. One went to bring good tidings to Sarah, one went to save Lot, and one went to destroy Sodom. An angel does not perform two missions, [nor do two angels perform one mission]. Michael went to bring good tidings to Sarah. "Surely we will return unto you" is not written here (in Gen. 18:14), but I WILL RETURN. He performed his mission and went away. Then the < other > two went to perform their missions, as stated (in Gen. 19:1): THEN THE TWO ANGELS CAME TO SODOM IN THE EVENING. Elsewhere (in 18:2, 16, 19:5f.) < Scripture > has called them "persons," but here it has called them "angels." R. Alexandri, however, has said: < When angels were > near Abraham, they were < called > humans because angels were common in the house of Abraham.75See Qid. 32b; cf. BM 86b. Thus it is stated (in Prov. 31:27): SHE OVERSEES THE ACTIVITIES (rt.: HLK) OF HER HOUSE. Since those who went (rt.: HLK) to the house of Abraham were angels and because he was commonly among angels, they appeared to him in human form.76I.e., angelic visits were as common as household activities in Abraham’s house. But for Lot, who was ignorant77Gk.: idotes, i.e., “lay person.” < about them >, they appeared as angels. Thus it is stated (in Gen. 19:1): THEN THE TWO ANGELS CAME TO SODOM….

Bereshit Rabbah

“The angel of the Lord found her in the wilderness, at the spring of water on the road to Shur” (Genesis 16:7).
“The angel of the Lord found her…at the spring of water [on the road to Shur]…” – on the road to Ḥalutza.
“He said: Hagar, Sarai’s maidservant, from where did you come, and where are you going? She said: From my mistress Sarai I am fleeing” (Genesis 16:8).
“He said: Hagar, Sarai’s maidservant” – if one says to you: Your ears are like those of a donkey, pay him no mind; if two [people tell you this], make a bridle for yourself.32If one person points out a fault to you, pay him no heed. If two people tell you, realize that the critique is true. So, Abram said: “Behold, your maidservant is in your hand.” The angel said: “Hagar, Sarai’s maidservant.” So she said: “From my mistress Sarai I am fleeing.”33Both Abraham and the angel referred to her as a mere maidservant; as a result she regarded herself as a mere maidservant, by referring to Sarah as “my mistress.”
“The angel of the Lord said to her: Return to your mistress and suffer under her hands” (Genesis 16:9).
“The angel of the Lord said to her: I will multiply your descendants, and they shall not be counted due to their great number” (Genesis 16:10).

“The angel of the Lord said to her: Return to your mistress and suffer…The angel of the Lord said to her: I will multiply…” How many [different] angels encountered her? Rabbi Yosei bar Ḥanina said: Five – every time “saying” is stated, there was another angel.34The words: “The angel of the Lord found her” is also counted as a “saying.” The Rabbis say: Four – every time “angel” is stated [there was another angel].
Rabbi Ḥiyya said: Come and see how great the difference is between the earlier generations and the later generations. Manoaḥ said to his wife [upon seeing an angel]: “We will die because we have seen God” (Judges 13:22). But Hagar, Sarai’s maidservant, saw five angels one after the other and did not fear them. Rabbi Ḥiyya said: [Better] the fingernail of the forefathers and not the belly of the descendants.35The preceding generations are so much greater than their descendants that even the former’s fingernails are most substantial than the latter’s torso.
Rabbi Yitzḥak said: “She supervises [tzofiya] the proceedings of her household” (Proverbs 31:27)36This verse is expounded as a reference to Abraham and Sarah in the Midrash of Proverbs. – the members of Abraham’s household were prophets [tzofim], so she was accustomed to seeing them [angels].
