Song of Solomon6
1Where has your beloved gone,O most beautiful among women?Where has your beloved turnedthat we may seek him with you?2My beloved has gone down to his garden,to the garden bed of the spice,to pasture his flock and to gather lilies in the garden.
Mutual Possession Refrain
3⸤I belong to my beloved and he belongs to me⸥; he pastures his flock among the lilies.Solomon’s Praise of His Beloved
4You are beautiful, my beloved, as Tirzah,lovely as Jerusalem,⸤overwhelming as an army with banners⸥. 5Turn away your eyes from before me,for they overwhelm me.Your hair is like a flock of the goatsthat moves down from Gilead.6Your teeth are like a flock of the ewesthat have come up from the washing,all of them bearing twins,and there is none bereaved among them.7Your cheeks ⸤behind⸥ your veilare like halves of a pomegranate.The Maiden’s Beauty Is without Peer
8Sixty queens there are, eighty concubines,and maidens beyond number.9My dove, ⸤she is the one⸥; my perfect, ⸤she is the only one⸥; she is ⸤the favorite of⸥ her mother who bore her.Maidens see her and consider her fortunate; queens and concubines praise her:10“Who is this that looks down like the dawn,beautiful as the moon,⸤bright as the sun⸥, ⸤overwhelming as an army with banners⸥?”The Journey to the Valley
11I went down to the orchard of the walnut treesto look at the blossoms of the valley,to see whether the vines have sprouted,whether the pomegranates have blossomed.12I did not know my ⸤heart⸥ set mein a chariot of my princely people. 13 Turn, turn, O Shulammite! Turn, turn so that we may look upon you!Why do you look upon the Shulammiteas at a dance of the two armies?Logos Bible Software
