O bmost beautiful among women?
Where has your beloved turned,
That we may seek him with you?”

To the dbeds of balsam,
To epasture his flock in the gardens
And gather flilies.

He who hpastures his flock among the lilies.”
The Groom
4 “ iYou are as beautiful as jTirzah, my darling,
As klovely as lJerusalem,
As mawesome as an army with banners.
5 “Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have confused me;
nYour hair is like a flock of goats
That have descended from Gilead.
6 “ oYour teeth are like a flock of ewes
That have come up from their watering place,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has lost her young.
7 “ pYour temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.
8 “There are sixty qqueens and eighty concubines,
And ▼
▼Or virgins
,
syoung women without number; 9 But tmy dove, my perfect one, is ▼

As pure abas the sun,
As acawesome as an army with banners?’

To see the plants of the valley,
To see whether adthe vine had grown

Before I was aware, my soul set me Over the chariots of ▼
