The Bride Praises Her Beloved
She
10 My beloved is radiant and aruddy,bdistinguished among ten thousand.
11His head is the finest gold;
chis locks are wavy,
black as a raven.
12His deyes are like doves
beside streams of water,
bathed in milk,
sitting beside a full pool. ▼
▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
13His fcheeks are like gbeds of spices,
mounds of sweet-smelling herbs.
His lips are hlilies,
dripping iliquid myrrh.
14His arms are rods of gold,
set with jjewels.
His body is polished ivory, ▼
▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain
bedecked with lsapphires. ▼
▼Hebrew lapis lazuli
15His legs are alabaster columns,
set on bases of gold.
His appearance is like nLebanon,
choice as the cedars.
16His omouth ▼
▼Hebrew palate
is most sweet,and he is altogether desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,
O qdaughters of Jerusalem.
