Shir Hashirim 7
7
1 How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O princeʼs daughter! Thy graceful legs are like jewels, ma'aseh yedei amon (the work of the hands of an artist).#7:1 See Prov 8:30
2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not wine: thy waist is like a mound of chittim (wheat) encircled by shoshanim (lilies).
3 Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a gazelle.
4 Thy tzavar (neck) is like a migdal of ivory; thine eyes like the pools of Cheshbon, by the sha'ar (gate) of Bat-Rabbim; thy nose is like the migdal of the Levanon which looketh toward Damascus.
5 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like royal tapestry; Melech is held captive in its tresses.
6 How fair and how pleasant art thou, O Ahavah, for delights!
7 This thy stature is like a tamar (palm tree), and thy breasts eshkolot (clusters [of fruit]).
8 I said, I will climb up to the tamar, I will take hold of the branches thereof; now also thy breasts shall be as eshkelot hagefen (clusters of the vine), and the scent of thy breath like apples;
9 And the roof of thy mouth like the best yayin of dodi (my beloved), that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
10 I am my belovedʼs, and to me goeth forth his teshukah (desire).
11 Come, dodi (my beloved), let us go forth into the sadeh; let us lodge in the villages.
12 Let us get up early to the kramim (vineyards); let us see if the gefen budded, whether the tender grape appears, and the pomegranates bloom; there will I give thee my love.
13 The mandrakes send out their fragrance, and at our doors are all manner of pleasant fruits, chadashim (new ones) and yeshanim (old ones), which I have stored up and kept for thee, O dodi (my beloved).#7:13 T.N. Just as there are different classes of women in the harem — so there are different residences in the book of Esther, for the malkah, for the pilegesh and for the almah or betulah; cf Song 6:8 and Esther chp 2.
