30:29–31 is the sixth of six numerical sayings in this chapter. See the discussion of numerical sayings in the General Notes for this chapter.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה הֵ֭מָּה מֵיטִ֣יבֵי צָ֑עַד וְ֝אַרְבָּעָ֗ה מֵיטִ֥בֵי לָֽכֶת
three they(emph) stately stride and,four stately walk
To make a comprehensive statement, Agur is using a rhetorical device in which the speaker names a number that should be sufficient to illustrate his point and then increases that number by one for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Since the meaning of both clauses is the same, you could also combine them into one clause. See how you translated the similar use of Three things and four in 30:15. Alternate translation: “These four things truly walk well”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
מֵיטִ֣יבֵי צָ֑עַד & מֵיטִ֥בֵי לָֽכֶת
stately stride & stately walk
The phrases doing well of step and doing well of walking both refer to animals or people who walk impressively. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “walk in an impressive manner … stride in a stately manner”
