The KJV column includes Strong's concordance numbers appended to each word, indicating this is drawn from an interlinear or concordance-style reference tool rather than a plain reading edition.\n\nThe passage is a *wasf* \u2014 a Near Eastern praise poem cataloguing a beloved's physical beauty through vivid, sensory comparisons: her feet and thighs likened to jeweled craftsmanship, her belly to a wheat heap garlanded with lilies, her neck to an ivory tower, her eyes to the pools of Heshbon, and her whole figure to a palm tree. The poem then shifts to the female speaker's declaration of mutual belonging (\"I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me\") and an invitation to go together into the fields and vineyards, where she promises to give him her love. The text is notable for its unapologetic, lyrical eroticism and its dense deployment of agricultural and architectural imagery to praise embodied, physical beauty \u2014 a feature that has made this book the subject of both allegorical spiritualization and literal literary appreciation across Jewish and Christian traditions.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Song of Solomon: Song of Solomon 7","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":870}
