Text -- The Song of Songs 7:4-13 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
7:4 Your neck is like a tower made of ivory . Your eyes are the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath-Rabbim . Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon overlooking Damascus .
7:5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel . The locks of your hair are like royal tapestries – the king is held captive in its tresses !
7:6 How beautiful you are! How lovely , O love , with your delights !
The Palm Tree and the Palm Tree Climber
7:7 The Lover to His Beloved: Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like clusters of grapes .
7:8 I want to climb the palm tree , and take hold of its fruit stalks . May your breasts be like the clusters of grapes , and may the fragrance of your breath be like apricots !
7:9 May your mouth be like the best wine , flowing smoothly for my beloved , gliding gently over our lips as we sleep together.
Poetic Refrain: Mutual Possession
7:10 The Beloved about Her Lover : I am my beloved’s, and he desires me!
The Journey to the Countryside
7:11 The Beloved to Her Lover: Come , my beloved , let us go to the countryside ; let us spend the night in the villages .
7:12 Let us rise early to go to the vineyards , to see if the vines have budded , to see if their blossoms have opened , if the pomegranates are in bloom – there I will give you my love .
7:13 The mandrakes send out their fragrance ; over our door is every delicacy , both new and old , which I have stored up for you, my lover .
