The chapter is a lyric poem in the ancient Near Eastern love-poetry tradition, in which a woman speaks of her beloved using pastoral imagery \u2014 she compares herself to a rose of Sharon and lily of the valleys, and her lover to a gazelle or young stag leaping over mountains. The content moves through an extended spring-awakening metaphor: winter has passed, flowers appear, the turtledove sings, and the beloved calls her to \"arise and come away.\" The text also includes the refrain \"I am sick with love,\" the image of him at the lattice window, and a plea to catch the little foxes spoiling the vineyard. The distinctive feature of this presentation is its four-column interlinear arrangement, designed for comparative textual scholarship \u2014 particularly the KJV column's Strong's numbering, which allows readers to trace every English word back to its original Hebrew or Greek root. This is a reference tool aimed at serious Bible students or translators examining how the same poetic source text has been rendered across linguistic traditions.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Song of Solomon: Song of Solomon 2","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":1084}
