Song of Solomon 2:6 in context

Song of Solomon 2:3–9

3

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood,

so is my beloved among the sons.

I sat down under his shadow with great delight,

his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4

He brought me to the banquet hall.

His banner over me is love.

5

Strengthen me with raisins,

refresh me with apples;

for I am faint with love.

6
Selected verse

His left hand is under my head.

His right hand embraces me.

7

I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,

by the roes, or by the hinds of the field,

that you not stir up, nor awaken love,

until it so desires.

8

The voice of my beloved!

Behold, he comes,

leaping on the mountains,

skipping on the hills.

9

My beloved is like a roe or a young deer.

Behold, he stands behind our wall!

He looks in at the windows.

He glances through the lattice.
