1 “[fn]I am the [fn]rose H2261 of Sharon H8289,
The lily H7799 of the valleys H6010.”
2 “[fn]Like a lily H7799 among H996 the thorns H2336,
So H3651 is my darling H7474 among H996 the daughters H1323.”
3 “[fn]Like an [fn]apple H8598 tree H8598 among the trees H6086 of the forest H3293,
So H3651 is my beloved H1730 among H996 the sons H1121.
In his shade H6738 I had H2530 great desire H2530 and sat H3427 down H3427,
And his fruit H6529 was sweet H4966 to my [fn]taste H2441.
4 “He has brought H935 me to his [fn]house H1004 of banqueting H3196,
And his banner H1714 over H5921 me is love H160.
5 “Sustain H5564 me with raisin H809 cakes H809,
Refresh H7502 me with [fn]apples H8598,
Because H3588 I am lovesick H2470 H160.
6 “Let his left H8040 hand H8040 be under H8478 my head H7218
And his right H3225 hand H3225 embrace H2263 me.”
7 “[fn]I call H7650 you to solemnly swear H7650, O daughters H1323 of Jerusalem H3389,
By the gazelles H6643 or H176 by the hinds H355 of the field H7704,
That you do not arouse H5782 or awaken H5782 my love H160
Until H5704 [fn]she pleases H2654.”
The Bride Delights in Her Beloved
8 “[fn]The voice H6963 of my beloved H1730!
Behold H2009, he is coming H935,
Leaping H1801 on the mountains H2022,
Jumping H7092 on the hills H1389!
9 “My beloved H1730 is H1819 like H1819 a gazelle H6643 or H176 a young H6082 [fn]stag H354.
Behold H2009, he is standing H5975 behind H310 our wall H3796;
He gazes H7688 through H4480 the windows H2474;
He is peering H6692 through H4480 the lattice H2762.
10 “My beloved H1730 answered H6030 and said H559 to me,
‘Arise H6965, my darling H7474, my beautiful H3303 one H3303,
And come H1980 along.
11 ‘For behold H2009, the winter H5638 is H5674 past H5674,
The rain H1653 is over H2498; it is gone H1980.
12 ‘The flowers H5339 have appeared H7200 in the land H776;
The time H6256 for [fn]pruning H2159 has arrived H5060;
And the voice H6963 of the turtledove H8449 has been heard H8085 in our land H776.
13 ‘The fig H8384 tree H8384 has ripened H2590 its figs H6291,
And the vines H1612 in blossom H5563 have given H5414 forth their fragrance H7381.
Arise H6965, my darling H7474, my beautiful H3303 one H3303,
And come H1980 along!’”
14 “[fn]O my dove H3123, in the clefts H2288 of the [fn]rock H5553,
In the secret H5643 place H5643 of the steep H4095 [fn]pathway H4095,
Let me see H7200 your appearance H4758,
Let me hear H8085 your voice H6963;
For your voice H6963 is sweet H6156,
And your appearance H4758 is lovely H5000.”
15 “[fn]Seize H270 the foxes H7776 for us,
The [fn]little H6996 foxes H7776 that are wreaking H2254 destruction H2254 on the vineyards H3754,
While our vineyards H3754 are in blossom H5563.”
16 “[fn]My beloved H1730 is mine, and I am his,
He who shepherds H7462 his flock among the lilies H7799.
17 “Until H5704 the day H3117 breathes H6315 and the shadows H6738 flee H5127,
Turn H5437, my beloved H1730, and be H1819 like H1819 a gazelle H6643
Or H176 a young H6082 stag H354 on the mountains H2022 of [fn]Bether H1336.”
