TOJB2011 ▾Shir HashirimShir Hashirim 71Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may gaze upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the mecholat Machanayim (dance of the Machanayim) .2How 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) .3Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not wine: thy waist is like a mound of chittim (wheat) encircled by shoshanim (lilies) .4Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a gazelle.5Thy 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.6Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like royal tapestry; Melech is held captive in its tresses.7How fair and how pleasant art thou, O Ahavah, for delights!8This thy stature is like a tamar (palm tree) , and thy breasts eshkolot (clusters [of fruit]) .9I 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;10And 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.11I am my belovedʼs, and to me goeth forth his teshukah (desire) .12Come, dodi (my beloved) , let us go forth into the sadeh; let us lodge in the villages.13Let 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.14The 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) .Shir Hashirim 6Shir Hashirim 8
