What is the significance of giving a belt to a merchant?
Rashi (31, according to the Mashal): Because he is girded with business [of Torah], it gives to him a belt for his loins.
Malbim (Derech ha'Muskal): A belt is conduct between good and evil, based on Chachmah. It is compared to a belt, which girds the loins with strength. So Chachmah overpowers the Yetzer to do valiantly. She gave this to a merchant, so others will learn this from her deeds.
