Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Verses [3:1-3](../03/01.md) describe the feeling of longing that the woman has for the man she loves, and it describes her diligently seeking him. Verse [3:4]../03/04.md) describes the woman finding the man she loves, holding onto him, and bringing him to her mother’s house.
Bible scholars do not know for certain whether the events described in [3:1-4](../03/01.md) are real events or something that the woman dreamed or imagined. Many Bible scholars think that verses [3:1-4](../03/01.md) describe a dream. You may wish to explain this in a footnote, or you could indicate in a section header whether you think this is a dream, a real event, or something she imagined. You could also use a general section header such as “The woman searches for the man she loves and finds him,” which does not indicate whether this was a dream, a real event, or something imagined.
