CHAPTER 6
I Am My Beloved’s
The Daughters of Jerusalem
1 Where has your beloved gone,
​​O fairest among women?
​​Where has your beloved turned aside,
​​That we may seek him with you?
The Shulamite
2 ​​My beloved has gone to his garden,
​​To the beds of spices,
​​To feed his flock in the gardens,
​​And to gather lilies.
3 ​​I am my beloved’s,
​​And my beloved is mine.
​​He feeds his flock among the lilies.
Praise of the Shulamite’s Beauty
The Beloved
4 ​​O my love, you are as beautiful as Tirzah,
​​Lovely as Jerusalem,
​​Awesome as an army with banners!
5 ​​Turn your eyes away from me,
​​For they have overcome me.
​​Your hair is like a flock of goats
​​Going down from Gilead.
6 ​​Your teeth are like a flock of sheep
​​Which have come up from the washing;
​​Every one bears twins,
​​And none is barren among them.
7 ​​Like a piece of pomegranate
​​Are your temples behind your veil.
​
8 ​​There are sixty queens
​​And eighty concubines,
​​And virgins without number.
9 ​​My dove, my perfect one,
​​Is the only one,
​​The only one of her mother,
​​The favorite of the one who bore her.
​​The daughters saw her
​​And called her blessed,
​​The queens and the concubines,
​​And they praised her.
​
10 ​​Who is she who looks forth as the morning,
​​Fair as the moon,
​​Clear as the sun,
​​Awesome as an army with banners?
The Shulamite
11 ​​I went down to the garden of nuts
​​To see the verdure of the valley,
​​To see whether the vine had budded
​​And the pomegranates had bloomed.
12 ​​Before I was even aware,
​​My soul had made me
​​As the chariots of my noble people.[fn]
The Beloved and His Friends
13 ​​Return, return, O Shulamite;
​​Return, return, that we may look upon you!
The Shulamite
​​What would you see in the Shulamite—
​​As it were, the dance of the two camps?[fn]
