Song of Solomon 4:12
The Wedding Night: The Delightful Garden
The Lover to His Beloved:
12 You are a locked garden, ▼▼ The twin themes of the enclosed garden and sealed spring are highlighted by the wordplay (paronomasia) between the Hebrew expressions גַּן נָעוּל (gan na’ul, “a garden locked up”) and גַּל נָעוּל (gal na’ul, “an enclosed spring”).
my sister, my bride; you are an enclosed spring, a sealed-up fountain.
