The third song

Sng 3:6—5:1

The bride

6Who’s that coming up from the wilderness like columns of smoke—

fragrant smoke of myrrh and frankincense from all the merchant’s powders?

7Look, it’s his chair carried on poles.

It belongs to Shelomoh (Solomon) and sixty Israeli warriors surround it.

8Each of them is studied in war and holding a sword.

Each one has his sword at his thigh against the dangers in the nights.

9King Shelomoh had a chair carried on poles made for himself

from the trees from Lebanon.

10Its posts were made of silver, its back, gold, and its seat, purple cloth.

Its interior was decorated with love by Yerushalem’s young women.

11Go out and look, young women of Tsiyyon, at King Shelomoh.

Look at the crown his mother crowned him with

on the day of his wedding

on the day that his heart was filled with happiness.

4 The groom

4Wow, you’re beautiful, my darling.

Look, at you, so beautiful.

Your eyes are doves from behind your veil.

Your hair is like a flock of goats that hop down from the slopes of Gilead.

2Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep that have come up from the washing,

all of which have identical pairs and none of them have been lost.

3Your lips are like a scarlet thread and your mouth is lovely.

Your cheeks are like a slice of pomegranate from behind your veil.

4Your neck is like the tower of David that’s built of layers—

a thousand shields hanging on it—all the shields of the warriors.

5Your two breasts are like two fawns

twins of a gazelle grazing among the lilies.

6Until the daylight arrives and the shadows flee,

I myself will go to the mountain of myrrh

and to the hill of frankincense.

7All of you is beautiful, my darling,

and you don’t have any flaws.


8Come with me from Lebanon, my bride.

Descend from the top of Amana,

from the top of Senir and Hermon,

from the hiding places of lions,

from the mountains of leopards.

9You have enchanted my heart, my girlfriend, my bride.

You’ve enchanted my heart with one look from your eyes

with one jewel from your necklace.

10How your love is beautiful, my girlfriend, my bride.

How your love is better than wine

and the smell of your oils is nicer than all spices.

11Your lips drip with nectar, my bride.

Honey and milk are under your tongue,

and your clothes smell nice like Lebanon’s forests.


12My girlfriend, my bride, is a locked garden,

a locked spring, a sealed fountain.

13Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranate trees with delicious fruits,

and henna and nard spice plants,

14nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all trees used for incense,

myrrh and aloes, with all the best spices,

15a fountain of gardens,

a well of living waters,

and streams flowing down from Lebanon.

The bride

16Wake up, north wind, and come, south wind.

Blow on my garden and let its spices flow.

Let my dearest come to his garden and eat its delicious fruit.

5 The groom

5I have come to my garden, my girlfriend, my bride.

I’ve plucked my myrrh with my spice.

I’ve eaten my honeycomb with my honey.

I’ve drunk my wine with my milk.

Yerushalem’s young women

Eat, friends,

drink, and drink freely, dear ones.
