The Song of Songs 6

The women of Jerusalem speaking to the young woman

6 You who are the most beautiful of the women,

where has the man you love gone?

Tell us which direction he went,

and we will go with you to search for him.

The

2 The man who I love has come to me.

I am like his garden where pleasant spices grow.

He has come to enjoy my body as a gazelle enjoys grazing in a garden and as a person enjoys picking lilies. 3 I belong to the man I love, and he belongs to me.

He feels pleasure when he is near me,

as a gazelle does when eating among lilies.

The

You are as beautiful as the city of Tirzah and as lovely as the city of Jerusalem.

You are as exciting and majestic to look at as an army with banners.

5 Stop looking at me like that,

because your eyes excite me very much.

Your long black hair moves from side to side like a flock of black goats

moving down the slopes of Mount Gilead.

6 Your teeth are very white.

White like a flock of sheep

that have just come up from being washed in a stream.

You have all of your teeth on both sides of your mouth;

none of them is missing.

7 Beneath your veil,

your cheeks are round and rosy like the halves of a pomegranate.

8 Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 concubines

and more young women in his court than anyone can count,

9 none of them would be as special as her. She is like a dove, she is flawless,

her mother considers her to be very special,

she is her mother’s favorite child.

When the young women of the kings court see her they say that that she is fortunate,

and the queens and concubines praise her.

10 Look at this woman who appears like the dawn,

who is as beautiful to look at as the moon,

who is radiant like the sun,

who is as exciting and majestic to look at as an army with banners!

11 I went down to the walnut tree orchard

to look at the new plants that were growing in the valley.

I wanted to see if the grapevines had budded

and if the pomegranate trees were blooming.

12 All of a sudden

I imagined that I was among the chariots of my noble people.

The

13 Come back to us beautiful woman from Shulam,

come back to us, in order that we may see you!

The

Why do you want to look at the beautiful woman from Shulam,

as if she were a dancer who dances to entertain armies?
