Song of Solomon 1



 1. The song <7892 shiyr > of songs <7892 shiyr >, which <0834 
>aher > [is] Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh >.



 2. Let him kiss <5401 nashaq > me with the kisses <5390 
n@shiyqah > of his mouth <6310 peh >: for thy love <1730 dowd > 
[is] better <2896 towb > than wine <3196 yayin >.



 3 Because of the savour <7381 reyach > of thy good <2896 towb > 
ointments <8081 shemen > thy name <8034 shem > [is as] ointment 
<8081 shemen > poured <7324 ruwq > forth, therefore do the 
virgins <5959 <almah > love <0157 >ahab > thee.



 4 Draw <4900 mashak > me, we will run <7323 ruwts > after <0310 
>achar > thee: the king <4428 melek > hath brought <0935 bow> > 
me into his chambers <2315 cheder >: we will be glad <1528 giyr 
> and rejoice <8055 samach > in thee, we will remember <2142 
zakar > thy love <1730 dowd > more than wine <3196 yayin >: the 
upright <4339 meyshar > love <0157 >ahab > thee.



 5 I [am] black <7838 shachor >, but comely <5000 na>veh >, O ye 
daughters <1121 ben > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, as the 
tents <0168 >ohel > of Kedar <6938 Qedar >, as the curtains 
<3407 y@riy<ah > of Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >.



 6 Look <7200 ra>ah > not upon me, because I [am] black <7840 
sh@charchoreth >, because the sun <8121 shemesh > hath looked 
<7805 shazaph > upon me: my mother's <0517 >em > children <1121 
ben > were angry <2734 charah > with me; they made <7760 suwm > 
me the keeper <5201 natar > of the vineyards <3754 kerem >; 
[but] mine own vineyard <3754 kerem > have I not kept <5201 
natar >.





 7. Tell <5046 nagad > me, O thou whom my soul <5315 nephesh > 
loveth <0157 >ahab >, where <0349 >eyk > thou feedest <7462 
ra<ah >, where <0349 >eyk > thou makest [thy flock] to rest 
<7257 rabats > at noon <6672 tsohar >: for why <4100 mah > 
should I be as one that turneth <5844 <atah > aside <5844 <atah 
> by the flocks <5739 <eder > of thy companions <2270 chaber >?



 8 If <0518 >im > thou know <3045 yada< > not, O thou fairest 
<3303 yapheh > among women <0802 >ishshah >, go <3318 yatsa> > 
thy way <1870 derek > forth <3318 yatsa> > by the footsteps 
<6119 <aqeb > of the flock <6629 tso>n >, and feed <7462 ra<ah > 
thy kids <1423 g@diy > beside <5921 <al > the shepherds <7462 
ra<ah >' tents <4908 mishkan >.



 9 I have compared <1819 damah > thee, O my love <7474 ra<yah >, 
to a company of horses <5484 cuwcah > in Pharaoh's <6547 Par<oh 
> chariots <7393 rekeb >.





 10 Thy cheeks <3895 l@chiy > are comely <4998 na>ah > with rows 
<8447 towr > [of jewels], thy neck <6677 tsavva>r > with chains 
<2737 charuwz > [of gold].





 11 We will make <6213 <asah > thee borders <8447 towr > of gold 
<2091 zahab > with studs <5351 n@quddah > of silver <3701 keceph 
>.



 12. While <5704 <ad > the king <4428 melek > [sitteth] at his 
table <5424 netheq >, my spikenard <5373 nerd > sendeth <5414 
nathan > forth the smell <7381 reyach > thereof.



 13 A bundle <6872 ts@rowr > of myrrh <4753 more > [is] my 
wellbeloved <1730 dowd > unto me; he shall lie <3885 luwn > all 
<3605 kol > night betwixt <0996 beyn > my breasts <7699 shad >.



 14 My beloved <1730 dowd > [is] unto me [as] a cluster <0811 
>eshkowl > of camphire <3724 kopher > in the vineyards <3754 
kerem > of Engedi <5872 <Eyn Gediy >.



 15 Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou [art] fair <3302 yaphah >, my 
love <7474 ra<yah >; behold <2009 hinneh >, thou [art] fair 
<3302 yaphah >; thou [hast] doves <3123 yownah >' eyes <5869 
<ayin >.



 16 Behold <2009 hinneh >, thou [art] fair <3302 yaphah >, my 
beloved <0157 >ahab >, yea <0637 >aph >, pleasant <5273 na<iym >:
 also <0637 >aph > our bed <6210 <eres > [is] green <7488 
ra<anan >.



 17 The beams <6982 qowrah > of our house <1004 bayith > [are] 
cedar <0730 >erez >, [and] our rafters <7351 r@chiyt > of fir 
<1265 b@rowsh >.



Song of Solomon 2



 1. I [am] the rose <2261 chabatstseleth > of Sharon <8289 
Sharown >, [and] the lily <7799 shuwshan > of the valleys <6010 
<emeq >.



 2 As the lily <7799 shuwshan > among <0996 beyn > thorns <2336 
chowach >, so <3651 ken > [is] my love <7474 ra<yah > among 
<0996 beyn > the daughters <1121 ben >.



 3. As the apple <8598 tappuwach > tree <6086 <ets > among the 
trees <6086 <ets > of the wood <3293 ya<ar >, so <3651 ken > 
[is] my beloved <1730 dowd > among <0996 beyn > the sons <1121 
ben >. I sat <3427 yashab > down under his shadow <6738 tsel > 
with great delight <2530 chamad >, and his fruit <6529 p@riy > 
[was] sweet <4966 mathowq > to my taste <2441 chek >.



 4 He brought <0935 bow> > me to the banqueting <3196 yayin > 
house <1004 bayith >, and his banner <1714 degel > over <5921 
<al > me [was] love <0160 >ahabah >.



 5 Stay <5564 camak > me with flagons <0809 >ashiyshah >, 
comfort <7502 raphad > me with apples <8598 tappuwach >: for I 
[am] sick <2470 chalah > of love <0160 >ahabah >.



 6 His left <8040 s@mo>wl > hand <8040 s@mo>wl > [is] under 
<8478 tachath > my head <7218 ro>sh >, and his right <3225 
yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > doth embrace <2263 chabaq > me.



 7 I charge <7650 shaba< > you, O ye daughters <1121 ben > of 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, by the roes <6643 ts@biy >, and 
by the hinds <0355 >ayalah > of the field <7704 sadeh >, that ye 
stir <5782 <uwr > not up, nor <0518 >im > awake <5782 <uwr > 
[my] love <0160 >ahabah >, till <5704 <ad > he please <2654 
chaphets >.



 8. The voice <6963 qowl > of my beloved <1730 dowd >! behold 
<2009 hinneh >, he cometh <0935 bow> > leaping <1801 dalag > 
upon the mountains <2022 har >, skipping <7092 qaphats > upon 
the hills <1389 gib<ah >.



 9 My beloved <1730 dowd > is like <1819 damah > a roe <6643 
ts@biy > or <0176 >ow > a young <6082 <opher > hart <0354 >ayal 
>: behold <2009 hinneh >, he standeth <5975 <amad > behind <0310 
>achar > our wall <3796 kothel >, he looketh <7688 shagach > 
forth at <4480 min > the windows <2474 challown >, shewing <6692 
tsuwts > himself through <4480 min > the lattice <2762 cherek >.



 10 My beloved <1730 dowd > spake <6030 <anah >, and said <0559 
>amar > unto me, Rise <6965 quwm > up, my love <7474 ra<yah >, 
my fair <3302 yaphah > one, and come <3212 yalak > away.



 11 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, the winter <5638 c@thav > is past 
<5674 <abar >, the rain <1653 geshem > is over <2798 Charashiym 
> [and] gone <1980 halak >;





 12 The flowers <5339 nitstsan > appear <7200 ra>ah > on the 
earth <0776 >erets >; the time <6256 <eth > of the singing <2158 
zamiyr > [of birds] is come <5060 naga< >, and the voice <6963 
qowl > of the turtle <8449 towr > is heard <8085 shama< > in our 
land <0776 >erets >;



 13 The fig <8384 t@>en > tree putteth <2590 chanat > forth 
<2590 chanat > her green <6291 pag > figs <6291 pag >, and the 
vines <1612 gephen > [with] the tender grape <5563 c@madar > 
give <5414 nathan > a [good] smell <7381 reyach >. Arise <6965 
quwm >, my love <7474 ra<yah >, my fair <3302 yaphah > one, and 
come <3212 yalak > away.



 14. O my dove <3123 yownah >, [that art] in the clefts <2288 
chagav > of the rock <5553 cela< >, in the secret <5643 cether > 
[places] of the stairs <4095 madregah >, let me see <7200 ra>ah 
> thy countenance <4758 mar>eh >, let me hear <8085 shama< > thy 
voice <6963 qowl >; for sweet <6149 <areb > [is] thy voice <6963 
qowl >, and thy countenance <4758 mar>eh > [is] comely <5000 
na>veh >.



 15 Take <0270 >achaz > us the foxes <7776 shuw<al >, the little 
<6996 qatan > foxes <7776 shuw<al >, that spoil <2254 chabal > 
the vines <3754 kerem >: for our vines <3754 kerem > [have] 
tender grapes <5563 c@madar >.



 16 My beloved <1730 dowd > [is] mine, and I [am] his: he 
feedeth <7462 ra<ah > among the lilies <7799 shuwshan >.



 17 Until <5704 <ad > the day <3117 yowm > break <6315 puwach >, 
and the shadows <6752 tselel > flee <5127 nuwc > away, turn 
<5437 cabab >, my beloved <1730 dowd >, and be thou like <1819 
damah > a roe <6643 ts@biy > or <0176 >ow > a young <6082 <opher 
> hart <0354 >ayal > upon the mountains <2022 har > of Bether 
<1336 Bether >.



Song of Solomon 3



 1. By night <3915 layil > on <5921 <al > my bed <4904 mishkab > 
I sought <1245 baqash > him whom my soul <5315 nephesh > loveth 
<0157 >ahab >: I sought <1245 baqash > him, but I found <4672 
matsa> > him not.



 2 I will rise <6965 quwm > now <4994 na> >, and go <5437 cabab

will seek <1245 baqash > him whom my soul <5315 nephesh > loveth 
<0157 >ahab >: I sought him, but I found <4672 matsa> > him not.



 3 The watchmen <8104 shamar > that go <5437 cabab > about <5437 
cabab > the city <5892 <iyr > found <4672 matsa> > me: [to whom 
I said], Saw <7200 ra>ah > ye him whom <0853 >eth > my soul 
<5315 nephesh > loveth <0157 >ahab >?



 4 [It was] but a little <4592 m@<at > that I passed <5674 <abar 
> from them, but I found <4672 matsa> > him whom my soul <5315 
nephesh > loveth <0157 >ahab >: I held <0270 >achaz > him, and 
would not let him go <7503 raphah >, until <5704 <ad > I had 
brought <0935 bow> > him into <0413 >el > my mother's <0517 >em

cheder > of her that conceived <2030 hareh > me.



 5 I charge <7650 shaba< > you, O ye daughters <1121 ben > of 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, by the roes <6643 ts@biy >, and 
by the hinds <0355 >ayalah > of the field <7704 sadeh >, that ye 
stir <5782 <uwr > not up, nor <0518 >im > awake <5782 <uwr > 
[my] love <0160 >ahabah >, till <5704 <ad > he please <2654 
chaphets >.



 6. Who <4310 miy > [is] this <2063 zo>th > that cometh <5927 
<alah > out of the wilderness <4057 midbar > like pillars <8490 
tiymarah > of smoke <6227 <ashan >, perfumed <6999 qatar > with 
myrrh <4753 more > and frankincense <3828 l@bownah >, with all 
<3605 kol > powders <81> of the merchant <7402 rakal >?



 7. Behold <2009 hinneh > his bed <4296 mittah >, which [is] 
Solomon's <8010 Sh@lomoh >; threescore <7657 shib<iym. > valiant 
<1368 gibbowr > men [are] about <5439 cabiyb > it, of the 
valiant <1368 gibbowr > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.



 8 They all <3605 kol > hold <0270 >achaz > swords <2719 chereb

man <0376 >iysh > [hath] his sword <2719 chereb > upon his thigh 
<3409 yarek > because of fear <6343 pachad > in the night <3915 
layil >.



 9 King <4428 melek > Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > made <6213 <asah 
> himself a chariot <0668 >appiryown > of the wood <6086 <ets > 
of Lebanon <3844 L@banown >.



 10 He made <6213 <asah > the pillars <5982 <ammuwd > thereof 
[of] silver <3701 keceph >, the bottom <7507 r@phiydah > thereof 
[of] gold <2091 zahab >, the covering <4817 merkab > of it [of] 
purple <0713 >argaman >, the midst <8432 tavek > thereof being 
paved <7528 ratsaph > [with] love <0160 >ahabah >, for the 
daughters <1121 ben > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



 11 Go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> >, O ye daughters <1121 
ben > of Zion <6726 Tsiyown >, and behold <7200 ra>ah > king

him in the day <3117 yowm > of his espousals <2861 chathunnah >, 
and in the day <3117 yowm > of the gladness <8057 simchah > of 
his heart <3820 leb >.

 that appear <1570 galash > from mount <2022 har > Gilead <1568 
Gil<ad >.



 2 Thy teeth <8127 shen > [are] like a flock <5739 <eder > [of 
sheep that are even] shorn <7094 qatsab >, which came <5927

comely <5000 na>veh >: thy temples <7451 ra< > [are] like a 
piece <6400 pelach > of a pomegranate <7416 rimmown > within 
<1157 b@<ad > thy locks <6777 tsammah >.



 4 Thy neck <6677 tsavva>r > [is] like the tower <4026 migdal >

<8530 talpiyah >, whereon <5921 <al > there hang <8518 talah > a 
thousand <0505 >eleph > bucklers <4043 magen >, all <3605 kol > 
shields <7982 shelet > of mighty <1368 gibbowr > men.



 5 Thy two <8147 sh@nayim > breasts <7699 shad > [are] like two

 11 Thy lips <8193 saphah >, O [my] spouse <3618 kallah >, drop

 12 A garden <1588 gan > inclosed <5274 na<al > [is] my sister

 13 Thy plants <7973 shelach > [are] an orchard <6508 pardec >

<0349 >eyk > shall I put <3847 labash > it on? I have washed 
<7364 rachats > my feet <7272 regel >; how <0349 >eyk > shall I 
defile <2936 tanaph > them?



 4 My beloved <1730 dowd > put <7971 shalach > in his hand <3027 
yad > by the hole <2356 chowr > [of the door <6607 pethach >], 
and my bowels <4578 me<ah > were moved <1993 hamah > for him.



 5 I rose <6965 quwm > up to open <6605 pathach > to my beloved 
<1730 dowd >; and my hands <3027 yad > dropped <5197 nataph > 
[with] myrrh <4753 more >, and my fingers <0676 >etsba< > [with] 
sweet <5674 <abar > smelling <5674 <abar > myrrh <4753 more >, 
upon the handles <3709 kaph > of the lock <4514 man<uwl >.



 6 I opened <6605 pathach > to my beloved <1730 dowd >; but my 
beloved <1730 dowd > had withdrawn <2559 chamaq > himself, [and] 
was gone <5674 <abar >: my soul <5315 nephesh > failed <3318 
yatsa> > when he spake <1696 dabar >: I sought <1245 baqash > 
him, but I could not find <4672 matsa> > him; I called <7121 
qara> > him, but he gave me no <3808 lo> > answer <6030 <anah >.



 7 The watchmen <8104 shamar > that went <5437 cabab > about 
<5437 cabab > the city <5892 <iyr > found <4672 matsa> > me, 
they smote <5221 nakah > me, they wounded <6481 patsa< > me; the 
keepers <8104 shamar > of the walls <2346 chowmah > took <5375 
nasa> > away my veil <7289 radiyd > from me.



 8 I charge <7650 shaba< > you, O daughters <1121 ben > of 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, if ye find <4672 matsa> > my 
beloved <1730 dowd >, that ye tell <5046 nagad > him, that I 
[am] sick <2470 chalah > of love <0160 >ahabah >.



 9. What <4100 mah > [is] thy beloved <1730 dowd > more than 
[another] beloved <1730 dowd >, O thou fairest <3303 yapheh > 
among women <0802 >ishshah >? what <4100 mah > [is] thy beloved 
<1730 dowd > more than [another] beloved <1730 dowd >, that thou 
dost so <3602 kakah > charge <7650 shaba< > us?



 10 My beloved <1730 dowd > [is] white <6703 tsach > and ruddy 
<0132 >admoniy >, the chiefest <1713 dagal > among ten <7233 
r@babah > thousand <7233 r@babah >.



 11 His head <7218 ro>sh > [is as] the most <3800 kethem > fine 
gold <6337 paz >, his locks <6977 q@vutstsah > [are] bushy <8534 
taltal >, [and] black <7838 shachor > as a raven <6158 <oreb >.



 12 His eyes <5869 <ayin > [are] as [the eyes <5869 <ayin >] of 
doves <3123 yownah > by the rivers <0650 >aphiyq > of waters 
<4325 mayim >, washed <7364 rachats > with milk <2461 chalab >, 
[and] fitly set <3427 yashab >.



 13 His cheeks <3895 l@chiy > [are] as a bed <6170 <aruwgah > of 
spices <1314 besem >, [as] sweet <4840 merqach > flowers <4026 
migdal >: his lips <8193 saphah > [like] lilies <7799 shuwshan >,
 dropping <5197 nataph > sweet <5674 <abar > smelling <5674 
<abar > myrrh <4753 more >.



 14 His hands <3027 yad > [are as] gold <2091 zahab > rings 
<1550 galiyl > set <4390 male> > with the beryl <8658 tarshiysh 
>: his belly <4578 me<ah > [is as] bright <6247 <esheth > ivory 
<8127 shen > overlaid <5968 <alaph > [with] sapphires <5601 
cappiyr >.



 15 His legs <7785 showq > [are as] pillars <5982 <ammuwd > of 
marble <8336 shesh >, set <3245 yacad > upon sockets <0134 >eden 
> of fine gold <6337 paz >: his countenance <4758 mar>eh > [is] 
as Lebanon <3844 L@banown >, excellent <0977 bachar > as the 
cedars <0730 >erez >.



 16 His mouth <2441 chek > [is] most sweet <4477 mamtaq >: yea, 
he [is] altogether <3605 kol > lovely <4261 machmad >. This 
<2088 zeh > [is] my beloved <1730 dowd >, and this <2088 zeh > 
[is] my friend <7453 rea< >, O daughters <1121 ben > of 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.



Song of Solomon 6



 1. Whither <0575 >an > is thy beloved <1730 dowd > gone <1980 
halak >, O thou fairest <3303 yapheh > among women <0802 
>ishshah >? whither <0575 >an > is thy beloved <1730 dowd > 
turned <6437 panah > aside <6437 panah >? that we may seek <1245 
baqash > him with thee.



 2 My beloved <1730 dowd > is gone <3381 yarad > down <3381 
yarad > into his garden <1588 gan >, to the beds <6170 <aruwgah 
> of spices <1314 besem >, to feed <7462 ra<ah > in the gardens 
<1588 gan >, and to gather <3950 laqat > lilies <7799 shuwshan >.



 3 I [am] my beloved's <1730 dowd >, and my beloved <1730 dowd > 
[is] mine: he feedeth <7462 ra<ah > among the lilies <7799 
shuwshan >.



 4. Thou [art] beautiful <3303 yapheh >, O my love <7474 ra<yah

<3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, terrible <0366 >ayom > as [an army] with 
banners <1713 dagal >.



 5 Turn <5437 cabab > away thine eyes <5869 <ayin > from me, for 
they have overcome <7292 rahab > me: thy hair <8181 se<ar > [is] 
as a flock <5739 <eder > of goats <5795 <ez > that appear <1570 
galash > from Gilead <1568 Gil<ad >.





 6 Thy teeth <8127 shen > [are] as a flock <5739 <eder > of 
sheep <7353 rachel > which go <5927 <alah > up from the washing 
<7367 rachtsah >, whereof every <3605 kol > one <0259 >echad > 
beareth <8382 ta>am > twins <8382 ta>am >, and [there is] not 
one <0259 >echad > barren <7909 shakkuwl > among them.





 7 As a piece <6400 pelach > of a pomegranate <7416 rimmown > 
[are] thy temples <7451 ra< > within <1157 b@<ad > thy locks 
<6777 tsammah >.



 8 There are threescore <7657 shib<iym. > queens <4436 malkah >, 
and fourscore <8084 sh@moniym > concubines <6370 piylegesh >, 
and virgins <5959 <almah > without <0369 >ayin > number <4557 
micpar >.



 9 My dove <3123 yownah >, my undefiled <8535 tam > is [but] one 
<0259 >echad >; she [is] the [only] one <0259 >echad > of her 
mother <0517 >em >, she [is] the choice <1249 bar > [one <0259

<1121 ben > saw <7200 ra>ah > her, and blessed <0833 >ashar > 
her; [yea], the queens <4436 malkah > and the concubines <6370 
piylegesh >, and they praised <1984 halal > her.



 10 Who <4310 miy > [is] she [that] looketh <8259 shaqaph > 
forth as the morning <7837 shachar >, fair <3303 yapheh > as the 
moon <3842 l@banah >, clear <1249 bar > as the sun <2535 chammah 
>, [and] terrible <0366 >ayom > as [an army] with banners <1713 
dagal >?



 11. I went <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > into <0413 >el > 
the garden <1594 ginnah > of nuts <93> to see <7200 ra>ah > the 
fruits <3> of the valley <5158 nachal >, [and] to see <7200 
ra>ah > whether the vine <1612 gephen > flourished <6524 parach

 12 Or ever <3808 lo> > I was aware <3045 yada< >, my soul <5315 
nephesh > made <7760 suwm > me [like] the chariots <4818 
merkabah > of Amminadib <5993 <Ammiy Nadiyb >.



 13 Return <7725 shuwb >, return <7725 shuwb >, O Shulamite 
<7759 Shuwlammiyth >; return <7725 shuwb >, return <7725 shuwb >,
 that we may look <2372 chazah > upon thee. What <4100 mah > 
will ye see <2372 chazah > in the Shulamite <7759 Shuwlammiyth

machaneh >.



Song of Solomon 7



 1. How <4100 mah > beautiful <3303 yapheh > are thy feet <6471 
pa<am > with shoes <5275 na<al >, O prince's <5081 nadiyb > 
daughter <1323 bath >! the joints <2542 chammuwq > of thy thighs 
<3409 yarek > [are] like <3644 k@mow > jewels <2484 chelyah >, 
the work <4639 ma<aseh > of the hands <3027 yad > of a cunning 
<0542 >aman > workman <0542 >aman >.



 2 Thy navel <8326 shorer > [is like] a round <5469 cahar > 
goblet <0101 >aggan >, [which] wanteth <2637 chacer > not liquor 
<4197 mezeg >: thy belly <0990 beten > [is like] an heap <6194 
<arem > of wheat <2406 chittah > set <5473 cuwg > about <5473 
cuwg > with lilies <7799 shuwshan >.



 3 Thy two <8147 sh@nayim > breasts <7699 shad > [are] like two 
<8147 sh@nayim > young <6082 <opher > roes <6646 ts@biyah > 
[that are] twins <8380 ta>owm >.



 4 Thy neck <6677 tsavva>r > [is] as a tower <4026 migdal > of 
ivory <8127 shen >; thine eyes <5869 <ayin > [like] the 
fishpools <1295 b@rekah > in Heshbon <2809 Cheshbown >, by the 
gate <8179 sha<ar > of Bathrabbim <1337 Bath Rabbiym >: thy nose 
<0639 >aph > [is] as the tower <4026 migdal > of Lebanon <3844 
L@banown > which looketh <6822 tsaphah > toward Damascus <1834 
Dammeseq >.



 5 Thine head <7218 ro>sh > upon thee [is] like Carmel <3760 
Karmel >, and the hair <1803 dallah > of thine head <7218 ro>sh

<0631 >acar > in the galleries <7298 rahat >.



 6 How <4100 mah > fair <3302 yaphah > and how <4100 mah > 
pleasant <5276 na<em > art thou, O love <0160 >ahabah >, for 
delights <8588 ta<anuwg >!



 7 This <2063 zo>th > thy stature <6967 qowmah > is like <1819 
damah > to a palm <8558 tamar > tree, and thy breasts <7699 shad

 8 I said <0559 >amar >, I will go <5927 <alah > up to the palm 
<8558 tamar > tree, I will take <0270 >achaz > hold <0270 >achaz

breasts <7699 shad > shall be as clusters <0811 >eshkowl > of 
the vine <1612 gephen >, and the smell <7381 reyach > of thy 
nose <0639 >aph > like apples <8598 tappuwach >;



 9 And the roof <2441 chek > of thy mouth <2441 chek > like the 
best <2896 towb > wine <3196 yayin > for my beloved <1730 dowd >,
 that goeth <1980 halak > [down] sweetly <4339 meyshar >, 
causing the lips <8193 saphah > of those that are asleep <3463 
yashen > to speak <1680 dabab >.



 10. I [am] my beloved's <1730 dowd >, and his desire <8669 
t@shuwqah > [is] toward <5921 <al > me.



 11 Come <3212 yalak >, my beloved <1730 dowd >, let us go <3318 
yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > into the field <7704 sadeh >; let 
us lodge <3885 luwn > in the villages <3723 kaphar >.



 12 Let us get up early <7925 shakam > to the vineyards <3754 
kerem >; let us see <7200 ra>ah > if the vine <1612 gephen > 
flourish <6524 parach >, [whether] the tender grape <5563

rimmown > bud <5132 nuwts > forth <5132 nuwts >: there will I 
give <5414 nathan > thee my loves <1730 dowd >.



 13 The mandrakes <1736 duwday > give <5414 nathan > a smell 
<7381 reyach >, and at <5921 <al > our gates <6607 pethach > 
[are] all <3605 kol > manner of pleasant <4022 meged > [fruits], 
new <2319 chadash > and old <3465 yashan >, [which] I have laid 
<6845 tsaphan > up for thee, O my beloved <1730 dowd >.



Song of Solomon 8



 1. O that thou [wert] as my brother <0251 >ach >, that sucked 
<3243 yanaq > the breasts <7699 shad > of my mother <0517 >em >! 
[when] I should find <4672 matsa> > thee without <2351 chuwts >, 
I would kiss <5401 nashaq > thee; yea <1571 gam >, I should not 
be despised <0937 buwz >.



 2 I would lead <5090 nahag > thee, [and] bring <0935 bow> > 
thee into <0413 >el > my mother's <0517 >em > house <1004 bayith

drink <8248 shaqah > of spiced <7544 reqach > wine <3196 yayin > 
of the juice of my pomegranate <7416 rimmown >.



 3 His left <8040 s@mo>wl > hand <8040 s@mo>wl > [should be] 
under <8478 tachath > my head <7218 ro>sh >, and his right <3225 
yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > should embrace <2263 chabaq > me.



 4 I charge <7650 shaba< > you, O daughters <1121 ben > of 
Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, that ye stir <5782 <uwr > not up,
 nor awake <5782 <uwr > [my] love <0160 >ahabah >, until <5704 
<ad > he please <2654 chaphets >.



 5. Who <4310 miy > [is] this <2063 zo>th > that cometh <5927 
<alah > up from the wilderness <4057 midbar >, leaning <7514 
raphaq > upon her beloved <1730 dowd >? I raised <5782 <uwr > 
thee up under <8478 tachath > the apple <8598 tappuwach > tree: 
there thy mother <0517 >em > brought <2254 chabal > thee forth 
<2254 chabal >: there she brought <2254 chabal > thee forth 
<2254 chabal > [that] bare <3205 yalad > thee.



 6 Set <7760 suwm > me as a seal <2368 chowtham > upon thine 
heart <3820 leb >, as a seal <2368 chowtham > upon thine arm 
<2220 z@rowa< >: for love <0160 >ahabah > [is] strong <5794 <az

the grave <7585 sh@>owl >: the coals <7565 resheph > thereof 
[are] coals <7565 resheph > of fire <0784 >esh >, [which hath a] 
most vehement <3050 Yahh > flame <7957 shalhebeth >.



 7 Many <7227 rab > waters <4325 mayim > cannot quench <3518 
kabah > love <0160 >ahabah >, neither <3808 lo> > can the floods 
<5104 nahar > drown <7857 shataph > it: if <0518 >im > [a] man 
<0376 >iysh > would give <5414 nathan > all <3605 kol > the 
substance <1952 hown > of his house <1004 bayith > for love 
<0160 >ahabah >, it would utterly be contemned <0936 buwz >.



 8. We have a little <6996 qatan > sister <0269 >achowth >, and 
she hath no <0369 >ayin > breasts <7699 shad >: what <4100 mah > 
shall we do <6213 <asah > for our sister <0269 >achowth > in the 
day <3117 yowm > when she shall be spoken <1696 dabar > for?



 9 If <0518 >im > she [be] a wall <2346 chowmah >, we will build 
<1129 banah > upon her a palace <2918 tiyrah > of silver <3701 
keceph >: and if she [be] a door <1817 deleth >, we will inclose 
<6696 tsuwr > her with boards <3871 luwach > of cedar <0730

 10 I [am] a wall <2346 chowmah >, and my breasts <7699 shad > 
like towers <4026 migdal >: then <0227 >az > was I in his eyes 
<5869 <ayin > as one that found <4672 matsa> > favour <7965 
shalowm >.



 11 Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh > had a vineyard <3754 kerem > at 
Baalhamon <1174 Ba<al Hamown >; he let <5414 nathan > out the 
vineyard <3754 kerem > unto keepers <5201 natar >; every <0376

was to bring <0935 bow> > a thousand <0505 >eleph > [pieces] of 
silver <3701 keceph >.



 12 My vineyard <3754 kerem >, which [is] mine, [is] before 
<6440 paniym > me: thou, O Solomon <8010 Sh@lomoh >, [must have] 
a thousand <0505 >eleph >, and those that keep <5201 natar > the 
fruit <6529 p@riy > thereof two hundred <3967 me>ah >.



 13. Thou that dwellest <3427 yashab > in the gardens <1588 gan

voice <6963 qowl >: cause me to hear <8085 shama< > [it].



 14 Make haste <1272 barach >, my beloved <1730 dowd >, and be 
thou like <1819 damah > to a roe <6643 ts@biy > or <0176 >ow > 
to a young <6082 <opher > hart <0354 >ayal > upon the mountains 
<2022 har > of spices <1314 besem >.
