Shir haShirim (Song of Songs) 2
2
1I am the rose of Sharon, The lily of the valleys.
2Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
3Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons. I delighted in his shade and sat down, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4He brought me to the house of wine, And his banner over me was love.
5“Strengthen me with raisin cakes, Refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.”
6His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me.
7I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases.
8The voice of my beloved! See, he is coming, Leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
9My beloved is like a gazelle or like a young stag. See, he is standing behind our wall, Looking through the windows, Peering through the lattice.
10My beloved responded and said to me, “Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
11“For look, the winter is past, the rain is over, gone.
12“The flowers have appeared in the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
13“The fig tree has ripened her figs, And the vines with the tender grapes have given a good fragrance. Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away!
14“O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the covering of the cliff, Let me see your appearance, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your appearance is lovely.”
15Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that spoil the vines, And our vines are all blossom.
16My beloved is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies.
17Until the day breaks and the shadows have fled, Turn, my beloved, And be like a gazelle or a young stag On the mountains of Bether.

Song of Solomon 2

1I am a rose#2.1 Heb crocus of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys.
2As a lily among brambles,
so is my love among maidens.
3As an apple tree among the trees of the wood,
so is my beloved among young men.
With great delight I sat in his shadow,
and his fruit was sweet to my taste,
4He brought me to the banqueting house,
and his banner over me was love.
5Sustain me with raisins,
refresh me with apples;
for I am sick with love.
6O that his left hand were under my head,
and that his right hand embraced me!
7I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles or the hinds of the field,
that you stir not up nor awaken love
until it please.
8The voice of my beloved!
Behold, he comes,
leaping upon the mountains,
bounding over the hills.
9My beloved is like a gazelle,
or a young stag.
Behold, there he stands
behind our wall,
gazing in at the windows,
looking through the lattice.
10My beloved speaks and says to me:
“Arise, my love, my fair one,
and come away;
11for lo, the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone.
12The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
13The fig tree puts forth its figs,
and the vines are in blossom;
they give forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one,
and come away.
14O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
in the covert of the cliff,
let me see your face,
let me hear your voice,
for your voice is sweet,
and your face is comely.
15Catch us the foxes,
the little foxes,
that spoil the vineyards,
for our vineyards are in blossom.”
16My beloved is mine and I am his,
he pastures his flock among the lilies.
17Until the day breathe
and the shadows flee,
turn, my beloved, be like a gazelle,
or a young stag upon rugged#2.17 The meaning of the Hebrew word is unknown mountains.
