Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - The temptress proceeds to encourage the youth by showing that there is no fear of interruption or detection. The goodman is not at home. "Goodman" is an old word meaning "master of the house," or husband (Matthew 20:11, etc.); but the Hebrew is simply "the man," which is probably a contemptuous way of speaking of the husband whom she was outraging. He is gone a long journey; he has gone to a place at a great distance hence. This fact might assure her lover that he was safe from her husband's jealousy (Proverbs 6:34); but she has further encouragement to offer.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) The goodman.--Literally, the man; she does not even call him "my husband."At the day appointed.--Rather, at the full moon, a fortnight later, as now it would seem to have been new moon, when the nights are dark.
