everybody what is going on you know what time it is you're listening to join the journey podcast

with your host emma daughter thanks for joining today we are reading proverbs 27 through 31 and i am back

in the podcast studio with mandy bagdonov hello join the journey folks man, it's good to have you back.

It's great to be here.

Since you've been on the podcast before, we're going to skip the get-to-know-you portion.

We'll link your past episodes.

Great.

People can learn more about you there.

And just dive in.

Perfect.

And I've got a few pretty specific questions for you.

The first being, who is agger, question mark on the pronunciation?

Yeah.

Or what are some ideas as to who he might be?

Listen, I love that question because this comes at the very end of the book of Proverbs.

And so, as we all know, Solomon is credited with the writings of the majority of these things.

But Agar could be a lot of people.

It could be Solomon, just another name for Solomon. It could be Hezekiah, King Hezekiah,

who a lot of theologians would credit the last couple of Proverbs to the compilation of Hezekiah.

It could be someone else. Who knows? We don't know. So we don't know. I didn't feel super definitive saying any one person. Yeah, I don't either. You asked me before we started. Who do you think it is? I was like, I maybe Kezzakia. Maybe, could be cool. Who knows? I don't know. Why does Mandy, Proverbs 31, and 30 a little bit, feel different?

So growing up reading the Proverbs, one of the first things that I did as a new believer was encouraged to read a proverb today, because they match the number of days in the month.

And so. That's clever.
