(Some words not found in UHB: come_back come_back the,Shulammite come_back come_back and,look on/over=you(fs) why gaze in/on/at/with,Shulammite as,dance_of the,armies )
If you are using section headers to indicate who is speaking, and you decided in the previous verse that the woman said the words “Why do you look at the Shulammite like the dance of two armies,” you will need to place a section header above this verse indicating that the man is now speaking. The man begins speaking directly to the woman in this verse and continues speaking to her until part way through [7:9](../07/09.md).

Alternate translation: [daughter of a nobleman] (2) be translated as “noble daughter” and mean that she had noble character. Alternate translation: [noble daughter] or [woman of noble character]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
חַמּוּקֵ֣י יְרֵכַ֔יִךְ כְּמ֣וֹ חֲלָאִ֔ים מַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יְדֵ֥י אָמָּֽן
(Some words not found in UHB: come_back come_back the,Shulammite come_back come_back and,look on/over=you(fs) why gaze in/on/at/with,Shulammite as,dance_of the,armies )
The man is saying that the curves of the woman’s thighs are like ornaments made by a skilled craftsman because she is very beautiful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Some words not found in UHB: come_back come_back the,Shulammite come_back come_back and,look on/over=you(fs) why gaze in/on/at/with,Shulammite as,dance_of the,armies )
The phrase the work of the hands of a craftsman further describes the ornaments. Hebrew poetry often used this kind of parallel statement, in which the second line gives additional information. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect these two parallel phrases with the words “which are” to show that this phrase is describing the ornaments and not introducing something new. Alternate translation: [which are the work of the hands of a craftsman]

7:1-5 The man now praises the woman’s dancing feet and then ascends her sensuous body to her flowing hair (7:1-5).
