The Maiden’s Beauty Is without Peer

The Maiden’s Beauty Is without Peer


?:? Literally “she is one”

?:? The term “one” functions here as an adjective of quality: “unique, singular, the only one”

?:? Literally “she is one”

?:? Or “the only daughter of her mother.” Although the latter option is permissible, the term is used elsewhere of the heir as the favored child (e.g., Gen 22:2; Prov 4:3 ). This nuance is supported by the parallel term “favorite”

?:? Or “she is the pure one.” Since there are two Hebrew terms spelled the same way, some relate this to the adjective that means “pure.” Others relate it to the verb that means “to choose, select.” The parallelism favors the latter

?:? Literally “the favorite for”

?:? Or “call her happy” or “call her blessed” or “bless her”

?:? Literally “pure as the glow”

?:? Or “bright as the heat of the sun.” The Hebrew term “glow” poetically refers to the bright rays of the sun (Psa 19:7; Isa 24:23 ; 30:26 )

?:? Literally “terrible as the bannered ones”
