Song of Solomon 1:15 in context

Song of Solomon 1:12–17

While the king sat at his table,

my perfume spread its fragrance.

My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh,

that lies between my breasts.

My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms

from the vineyards of En Gedi.

Selected verse

Behold,^† you are beautiful, my love.

Behold, you are beautiful.

Your eyes are like doves.

Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant;

and our couch is verdant.

The beams of our house are cedars.

Our rafters are firs.
