Solomon and His Bride Delight in Each Other

He

4 You are beautiful as ^xTirzah, ^ymy love,
^zlovely as ^aaJerusalem,
^abawesome as an army with banners.
5Turn away your eyes from me,
for they overwhelm me—
^acYour hair is like a flock of goats
leaping down the slopes of Gilead.
6 ^adYour teeth are like a flock of ewes
that have come up from the washing;
all of them bear twins;
not one among them has lost its young.
7 ^aeYour cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
behind your veil.
8There are ^afsixty ^agqueens and eighty ^ahconcubines,
and ^aivirgins without number.
9My ^ajdove, my ^akperfect one, is the only one,
the only one of her mother,
pure to ^alher who bore her.
^amThe young women saw her and called her blessed;
^anthe queens and ^aoconcubines also, and they praised her.
10 ^ap“Who is this who looks down like the dawn,
beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun,
^aqawesome as an army with banners?”

Song of Solomon 7

1How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
O ^arnoble daughter!
Your rounded thighs are like ^asjewels,
the work of ^ata master hand.
2Your navel is a rounded bowl
that never lacks mixed wine.
Your belly is a heap of wheat,
encircled with ^aulilies.
3 ^avYour two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
4Your ^awneck is like an ivory tower.
Your ^axeyes are pools in ^ayHeshbon,
by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is like a tower of ^azLebanon,
which looks toward ^baDamascus.
5Your head crowns you like ^bbCarmel,
and your ^bcflowing locks are like purple;
a king is held captive in the tresses.
6 ^bdHow beautiful and ^bepleasant you are,
O loved one, with all your delights! ▼

▼Or among delights

7Your stature is like a palm tree,
and your breasts are like its clusters.
8I say I will climb the palm tree
and lay hold of its fruit.
Oh may your breasts be like ^bgclusters of the vine,
and the scent of your breath like apples,
9and your ^bhmouth ▼

▼Hebrew palate

like the best wine.

She

It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding over lips and teeth. ▼

▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew causing the lips of sleepers to speak

10 ^bkI am my beloved’s,
^bland his desire is for me.

The Bride Gives Her Love

11 ^bmCome, my beloved,
let us go out into the fields
and lodge in the villages; ▼

▼Or among the henna plants

12let us go out early to the vineyards
^boand see whether the vines have budded,
whether ^bpthe grape blossoms have opened
and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
13 ^bqThe mandrakes give forth fragrance,
and beside our doors are all choice fruits,
^brnew as well as old,
which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
