Context of Song of Songs 4:14
12A garden locked is my sister, my bride, A rock garden locked, a spring sealed up. 13Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates With choice fruits, henna with nard plants, Nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, With all the trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, along with all the finest spices. 15You are a garden spring, A well of fresh water, And streams flowing from Lebanon.” 16“Awake, O north wind, And come, wind of the south; Make my garden breathe out fragrance, Let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden And eat its choice fruits!”
