Proverbs 31:20

stretcheth out Rather, spreadeth out.

her hand Lit. her palm. The whole expression, spreadeth out her palm(holding out the gift for acceptance) denotes the open-handed liberality with which she disperses abroad and gives to the poor (Psalms 112:9; 2 Corinthians 9:9).

"The hand which is thus held out to the poor is precisely the hand which has been laid on the distaff and the spindle; not the lazy hand or the useless hand, but the hand which is supple with toil, dexterous with acquired skill." Horton.
