To break it down into the Hebrew:
Pro 31:10 WhoH4310 can findH4672 a virtuousH2428 woman?H802 for her priceH4377 is farH7350 above rubies.H4480 H6443
I am not going to type H in front of numerical references for words in Hebrew (note this would apply if I am using text from the New Testament as well - i.e. G = Greek - heads up, OT = Hebrew and NT = Greek).
Who - 4310 (pronoun) - Means who, whose, whom. Usually used interrogatively of persons.
find - 4672 (verb) - To attain, find, acquire. Used in finding wisdom (Proverbs 4:22).
virtuous - 2428 (noun) - Strength, wealth, army. Men-strong for war, able to judge, are righteous in behavior. Women-virtuous character.
woman - 802 (noun) - Woman, wife, or female. First used in Gen 2:23.
price - 4377 (noun) - Refers to merchandise, price, worth.
above - 4480 (preposition) - :-) means above (context helps discern meaning).
rubies - 6443 (noun) - ornaments worn for beautification, jewels are known for their great value.
Let me reiterate the fact that this Proverb was given to a son by his mother. A woman can have these traits and abilities w/out a physical husband. However, in the context of raising sons, an ability to 'see' the manly manifestations will, hopefully, be of long term benefit.
Manly Manifestations:
Seeking - has the knowledge and ability to discern the value of a good woman. Educated, informed, knowledgeable, experienced and discerning.
