2“My belovedH1730 has goneH3381 downH3381 to his 1gardenH1588, To the 2bedsH6170 of balsamH1314, To 3pastureH7462 his flock in the gardensH1588 And gatherH3950 4liliesH7799.35I am my beloved’sH1730 and my belovedH1730 is mine, He who 6pasturesH7462 his flock among the liliesH7799.”
4“7You are as beautifulH3303 as 8TirzahH8656, my darlingH7474, As 9lovelyH5000 as 10JerusalemH3389, As 11awesomeH366 as an armyH1713 withH1713 bannersH1713.5TurnH5437 your eyesH5869 awayH5437 from me, For they have confusedH7292 me; 12Your hairH8181 is like a flockH5739 of goatsH5795 That have descendedH1570 from GileadH1568.613Your teethH8127 are like a flockH5739 of ewesH7353 That have comeH5927 upH5927 from their wateringH7367 placeH7367, AllH3605 of whichH7945 bearH8382 twinsH8382, And not oneH369 among them has lostH7909 her youngH7909.714Your templesH7541 are like a sliceH6400 of a pomegranateH7416 BehindH4480H1157 your veilH6777.8ThereH1992 are sixtyH8346 15queensH4436 and eightyH8084 concubinesH6370, And 1617youngH5959 womenH5959 withoutH369 numberH4557;9But 18my doveH3123, my perfectH8535 oneH8535, is 19uniqueH259: She is her mother’sH517 20onlyH259 daughter; She is the pureH1249 child of the one who gaveH3205 birthH3205 to her. The 2122youngH1323 womenH1323 sawH7200 her and calledH833 her 23blessedH833, The 24queensH4436 and the concubinesH6370 also, and they praisedH1984 her, saying,
10‘WhoH4310 is thisH2088 who looksH8259 downH8259 likeH3644 the dawnH7837, As beautifulH3303 as the fullH3842 25moonH3842, As pureH1249 26as the sunH2535, As 27awesomeH366 as an armyH1713 with bannersH1713?’11I wentH3381 downH3381 to the orchardH1593 of nutH93 treesH93 To seeH7200 the plantsH3 of the valleyH5158, To seeH7200 whether 28the vineH1612 had grownH6524 Or the 29pomegranatesH7416 had bloomedH5340.1230Before I wasH3045 awareH3045, my soulH5315 setH7760 me Over the chariotsH4818 of 31my nobleH5081 peopleH5971.”
13“32ComeH7725 backH7725, comeH7725 backH7725, O ShulammiteH7759; ComeH7725 backH7725, comeH7725 backH7725, so that we may lookH2372 at you!” The Groom “WhyH4100 should you lookH2372 at the ShulammiteH7759, As at the 33danceH4246 of 3435the two armiesH4264?
