In the context of Proverbs, it reflects the enticement of sinners who seek to recruit others into their schemes. The phrase suggests a decision point, where one must choose between the path of wisdom and the path of folly. Biblically, this can be compared to the call of wisdom versus the call of folly seen throughout Proverbs. The idea of "throwing in your lot" can also be seen in the story of Lot in Genesis, who chose to live in Sodom, illustrating the consequences of aligning oneself with the wrong company.<p><b>let us all share one purse”—</b><br>This part of the verse highlights the promise of shared wealth and mutual benefit, which is often used as a lure by those engaging in unethical or sinful behavior. The concept of a "shared purse" implies a communal sharing of resources, which can be appealing but also dangerous if the means of acquiring those resources are unjust. In the historical and cultural context of ancient Israel, communal living and shared resources were common, but the Bible warns against dishonest gain. This phrase can be connected to the New Testament, where Jesus warns against the love of money and the deceitfulness of riches (<a href="/matthew/6-24.htm">Matthew 6:24</a>, <a href="/1_timothy/6-10.htm">1 Timothy 6:10</a>). It also contrasts with the early Christian community in <a href="/acts/2-44.htm">Acts 2:44-45</a>, where believers shared their possessions out of love and generosity, not greed or deceit.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>Traditionally considered the author of Proverbs, Solomon was the son of King David and known for his wisdom.

The sense is, "you shall equally with the others cast lots for your share of the spoil" (Zockler, Delitzsch). <span class="cmt_word">Let us all have one parse.</span> <span class="accented">Purse</span>; <span class="hebrew">כִּיס</span> (<span class="accented">kis</span>), the <span class="greek">βαλάντιον</span> of the LXX., the <span class="accented">marsupium</span> of the Vulgate, is the receptacle in which money is placed for security. In <a href="/proverbs/15-11.htm">Proverbs 15:11</a> it is used for the bag in which traders kept their weights, "the weights of the bag;" and in <a href="/proverbs/23-31.htm">Proverbs 23:31</a> it is translated "cup," the wine cup. It here signifies the common stock, the aggregate of the gains of the robbers contributed to a common fund. The booty captured by each or any is to be thrown into one common stock, to form one purse, to be divided by lot among all the members of the band. On this community of goods among robbers, compare the Hebrew proverb, <span class="accented">In localis, in poculis, in ira.</span> Community of goods among the wicked carries with it community in crime, just as the community of goods among the early Christians implied community in good works and in the religious sentiments of the Christian body or Church. The Rabbi Salomon Isacides offers another explanation (which leaves the choice open to youth either to share in the spoil by lot, or to live at the expense of a common fund, as he may prefer): "Si voles, nobiscum spolia partieris, si etiam magis placebit, sociali communique marsupio nobiscum vives" - "If thou wilt, thou shalt share with us the booty; ay, if it like thee more, thou halt live with us on a confederate and common purse" (see Cornelius a Lapide). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/proverbs/1-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Throw in</span><br /><span class="heb">תַּפִּ֣יל</span> <span class="translit">(tap·pîl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5307.htm">Strong's 5307: </a> </span><span class="str2">To fall, lie</span><br /><br /><span class="word">your lot</span><br /><span class="heb">גּ֭וֹרָ֣לְךָ</span> <span class="translit">(gō·w·rā·lə·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1486.htm">Strong's 1486: </a> </span><span class="str2">Lot -- a lot (for casting)</span><br /><br /><span class="word">with us,</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּתוֹכֵ֑נוּ</span> <span class="translit">(bə·ṯō·w·ḵê·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8432.htm">Strong's 8432: </a> </span><span class="str2">A bisection, the centre</span><br /><br /><span class="word">let us all</span><br /><span class="heb">לְכֻלָּֽנוּ׃</span> <span class="translit">(lə·ḵul·lā·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> </span><span class="str2">The whole, all, any, every</span><br /><br /><span class="word">have</span><br /><span class="heb">יִהְיֶ֥ה</span> <span class="translit">(yih·yeh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> </span><span class="str2">To fall out, come to pass, become, be</span><br /><br /><span class="word">one</span><br /><span class="heb">אֶ֝חָ֗ד</span> <span class="translit">(’e·ḥāḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_259.htm">Strong's 259: </a> </span><span class="str2">United, one, first</span><br /><br /><span class="word">purse”—</span><br /><span class="heb">כִּ֥יס</span> <span class="translit">(kîs)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3599.htm">Strong's 3599: </a> </span><span class="str2">A cup, a bag for, money, weights</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/proverbs/1-14.htm">Proverbs 1:14 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/proverbs/1-14.htm">Proverbs 1:14 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/proverbs/1-14.htm">Proverbs 1:14 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/proverbs/1-14.htm">Proverbs 1:14 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/proverbs/1-14.htm">Proverbs 1:14 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/proverbs/1-14.htm">Proverbs 1:14 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/proverbs/1-14.htm">Proverbs 1:14 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/proverbs/1-14.htm">Proverbs 1:14 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/proverbs/1-14.htm">Proverbs 1:14 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/proverbs/1-14.htm">Proverbs 1:14 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/proverbs/1-14.htm">OT Poetry: Proverbs 1:14 You shall cast your lot among us (Prov.
