This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
6 Yerushalem’s young women
6 Where did he go, your dearest, most beautiful woman among women?
Where did he turn, your dearest—let us join you in looking for him.
The bride
2 My dearest went down to his garden, to the beds of spices,
→ in order to graze in the gardens and in order to gather lilies.
6:4 The fifth song
The groom
4 You are beautiful, my darling, like Tirtsah,
≈ lovely like Yerushalem (Jerusalem),
≈ awe-inspiring like armies marching with banners.
5 Turn your eyes away from me, because they excite me.
Your hair is like a flock of goats that hop down from Mt. Gilead.
6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes that have come up from the washing,
all of which have twin lambs and none of them have died.
7 Your cheeks are like a slice of a pomegranate
8 He has sixty queens, and eighty concubines,
≈ and young women without number.
9 She’s special, my dove, my perfect one.
≈ She’s special to her mother—perfect to the woman who bore her.
The young women saw her and called her blessed.
≈ The queens and the concubines praised her:
10 “Who is that, the woman who looks down like the dawn,
awe-inspiring like armies marching with banners?”
11 I went down to the nut tree garden to look at the green shoots of the valley
to see if the grapevine had budded?
≈ Had the pomegranates bloomed?
my desire had put me among my people’s chariots, a leading citizen.
