Prov 30:1
  Interlinear
The proverbs of Agur, the son of Jakeh—a burden (a lesson; words of great weight; a prophetic message—Hebr. mass). [Isa 13:1; Mal. 1:1; Zech. 9:1] Thus he declared (proclaimed) to Itiel—to Itiel and Ucal.
[Agur was presumably a wise man. This chapter differs from the rest of the Book of Proverbs and does not contain strict proverbs; perhaps it is Solomon who calls himself Agur, and his father David is Jakeh. All Hebrew names also have a meaning, which can give the verse a more metaphorical and freer interpretation.
Agur means: “one who gathers.” Jakeh means: “without guilt.” Itiel means: “God is with me.” Ukal means: “engulfed.” The word massa can, together with “word,” convey the meaning “divinely inspired words,” or if it refers to Agur as a person, it may refer to a place (Gen. 25:14), and in that case, the region he came from.]
