: 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

art ]  fair <3302 yaphah > ;  thou  [ hast ]  doves <3123 yownah

<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 > .

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

<2336 chowach > ,  so <3651 ken >  [ is ]  my love <7474 ra<yah

 : 3 .  As the apple <8598 tappuwach > tree <6086 <ets > among 
the trees <6086 <ets > of the wood <3293 ya<ar > ,  so <3651 ken

<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 > .

behold <2009 hinneh > ,  he cometh <0935 bow> > leaping <1801 
dalag > upon the mountains <2022 har > ,  skipping <7092 qaphats

shagach > forth at <4480 min > the windows <2474 challown > ,  
shewing <6692 tsuwts > himself through <4480 min > the lattice 
<2762 cherek > .

<0559 >amar > unto me ,  Rise <6965 quwm > up ,  my love <7474 
ra<yah > ,  my fair <3302 yaphah > one ,  and come <3212 yalak >

past <5674 <abar > ,  the rain <1653 geshem > is over <2798 
Charashiym >  [ and ]  gone <1980 halak > ;

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 .

<4758 mar>eh >  [ is ]  comely <5000 na>veh > .

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 > .

his : he feedeth <7462 ra<ah > among the lilies <7799 shuwshan > 
.

mishkab > I sought <1245 baqash > him whom my soul <5315 nephesh

sister <0269 >achowth > ,   [ my ]  spouse <3618 kallah > : I 
have gathered <0717 >arah > my myrrh <4753 more > with my spice 
<1313 basam > ;  I have eaten <0398 >akal > my honeycomb <3293 
ya<ar > with my honey <1706 d@bash > ;  I have drunk <8354 
shathah > my wine <3196 yayin > with my milk <2461 chalab > : 
eat <0398 >akal > ,  O friends <7453 rea< > ;  drink <8354 
shathah > ,  yea ,  drink <7937 shakar > abundantly <7937 shakar 
> ,  O beloved <1730 dowd > . 

 : 2 .  I sleep <3463 yashen > ,  but my heart <3820 leb > 
waketh <5782 <uwr > :  [ it is ]  the voice <6963 qowl > of my 
beloved <1730 dowd > that knocketh <1849 daphaq > ,   [ saying ] 
 ,  Open <6605 pathach > to me ,  my sister <0269 >achowth > ,  
my love <7474 ra<yah > ,  my dove <3123 yownah > ,  my undefiled 
<8535 tam > : for my head <7218 ro>sh > is filled <4390 male> > 
with dew <2919 tal > ,   [ and ]  my locks <6977 q@vutstsah > 
with the drops <7447 raciyc > of the night <3915 layil > . 

 : 3 I have put <6584 pashat > off my coat <3801 k@thoneth > ;  
how <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 > ,  as Tirzah <8656 Tirtsah > ,  comely <5000 
na>veh > as Jerusalem <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 <7353rachel > 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 ]  thytemples <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 >echad > ]  of her that bare 
<3205 yalad > her .  The daughters <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 > ,   [ and ]  the pomegranates <7416 rimmown > budded 
<5132 nuwts > . 

 : 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 > ?  As it were the company <4246 m@chowlah > 
of two armies <4264 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 > like purple <0713 >argaman > ;  the king <4428 
melek >  [ is ]  held <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 > to clusters <0811 >eshkowl >  [ of grapes ]  . 

 : 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 > of the boughs <5577 cancin > thereof : now <4994 na> > 
also thy 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 
c@madar > appear <6524 parach > ,   [ and ]  the pomegranates 
<7416 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 > ,   [ who ]  would instruct <3925 lamad > me : I would 
cause thee to 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 > as death <4194 maveth > ;  jealousy <7068 qin>ah >  [ is ] 
 cruel as 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 >erez > . 

 : 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 
>iysh > one <0376 >iysh > for the fruit <6529 p@riy > thereof 
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 > ,  the companions <2270 chaber > hearken <7181 qashab > to 
thy 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 > .
