A:The Book of Proverbs is believed to have been compiled in Babylon during the Exile. However, some of the proverbs in the book date from before the Exile and would mainly have developed in Jerusalem. A few proverbs have close parallels in Egypt and would have been copied from those sources early in the monarchical period.An interesting situation applies to the references in Proverbs to the spirit/goddess Wisdom. She is known to have been venerated by Jews from the time of the Babylonian Exile until the end of the first century CE and there are even references to her in the gospels. However, there is no mention of her in any writing or artefacts from the pre-Exilic period. Nevertheless, bearing in mind the relatively scant material from before the Exile, some scholars believe she was indeed the goddess of wisdom and learning during the late monarchy in Judah.
