uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

עֵינָ֕י⁠ו כְּ⁠יוֹנִ֖ים עַל־אֲפִ֣יקֵי מָ֑יִם רֹֽחֲצוֹת֙ בֶּֽ⁠חָלָ֔ב יֹשְׁב֖וֹת עַל־מִלֵּֽאת

eyes_of,his like,doves on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in streams_of water bathed in/on/at/with, יֹשְׁבוֹת on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in מִלֵּאת

In [1:15](../01/15.md) the man said to the woman, “your eyes are doves.” Here the woman uses the word like and compares the man’s eyes to doves that are bathing in milk. The phrase bathing in milk refers to the color of the doves‘ feathers and the man’s eyes. The two phrases beside stream beds of water and sitting beside the pools describe the doves as being by water. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [His eyes are like doves beside stream beds of water that are bathing in milk and sitting beside the pools]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

עֵינָ֕י⁠ו כְּ⁠יוֹנִ֖ים עַל־אֲפִ֣יקֵי מָ֑יִם רֹֽחֲצוֹת֙ בֶּֽ⁠חָלָ֔ב יֹשְׁב֖וֹת עַל־מִלֵּֽאת

eyes_of,his like,doves on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in streams_of water bathed in/on/at/with, יֹשְׁבוֹת on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in מִלֵּאת

The phrases beside stream beds of water and sitting beside the pools mean basically the same thing. They both describe the doves as being by water. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine them. Alternate translation: [His eyes are like doves beside stream beds of water, bathing in milk] or [His eyes are like doves bathing in milk, sitting by the pools]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

5:10-16 This extended portrayal of the lover in the Song emphasizes his worth to the woman.
