1 “a CHORUSWhere has your beloved gone,
O most beautiful among women?
Where has your beloved turned,
That we may seek him with you?”
2 “b BRIDEMy beloved has gone down to his garden,
To the beds of balsam,
To pasture his flock in the gardens
And gather lilies.
3 “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,
He who pastures his flock among the lilies.”
4 “c BRIDEGROOMYou are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling,
As lovely as Jerusalem,
As awesome asd Lit bannered onesan army with banners.
5 “Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have confused me;
Your hair is like a flock of goats
That have descended from Gilead.
6 “Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
Which have come up from their washing,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them hase Or miscarriedlost her young.
7 “Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.
8 “There are sixty queens and eighty concubines,
Andf Or virginsmaidens without number;
9 But my dove, my perfect one, isg Lit oneunique:
She is her mother’sh Lit oneonly daughter;
She is the pure child of the one who bore her.
Thei Lit daughtersmaidens saw her and called her blessed,
The queens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying,
10 ‘Who is this thatj Lit looks downgrows like the dawn,
As beautiful as the full moon,
As pure as the sun,
As awesome ask Lit bannered onesan army with banners?’
11 “I went down to the orchard of nut trees
To see the blossoms of the valley,
To see whether the vine had budded
Or the pomegranates had bloomed.

Over the chariots ofl Another reading is Ammi-nadibmy noble people.”
