Song Of Songs Is Much About The Relationship Between G-d And Israel

Do not be misled about Christian preacher, church founder or minister, claiming it is about G-d and the church.

This book is composed by King Solomon, as a passionate dialogue between the husband [G-d] who still loves His estranged exiled wife [Israel].

“Israel To G-d”

May He kiss me with the kisses of His mouth, for Your love is better than wine.
1:2
Draw me, we will run after You; the King has brought me into His chambers. We will rejoice and be glad in You. We will commemorate Your love [better] than wine; sincerely do they love You.
:4
You are handsome, my Beloved, indeed pleasant; even our couch is full of vigor.
:16

1 The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s.
2 “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is better than wine.
3 Because of the fragrance of your goodly oils, your name is ‘oil poured forth.’ Therefore, the maidens loved you.
4 Draw me, we will run after you; the king brought me to his chambers. We will rejoice and be glad in you. We will recall your love more fragrant than wine; they have loved you sincerely.
5 I am black but comely, O daughters of Jerusalem! Like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not look upon me [disdainfully] because I am swarthy, for the sun has gazed upon me; my mother’s sons were incensed against me; they made me a keeper of the vineyards; my own vineyard I did not keep.
7 Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where do you feed, where do you rest [the flocks] at noon, for why should I be like one who veils herself beside the flocks of your companions?”
8 “If you do not know, O fairest of women, go your way in the footsteps of the flocks and pasture your kids beside the shepherds’ dwellings.
9 At the gathering of the steeds of Pharaoh’s chariots have I silenced you, my beloved.
10 Your cheeks are comely with rows, your neck with necklaces.
11 We will make you rows of gold with studs of silver.”
12 “While the king was still at his table, my spikenard gave forth its fragrance.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me; between my breasts he shall lie.
14 A cluster of henna-flowers is my beloved to me, in the vineyards of Ein-Gedi.”
15 “Behold, you are comely, my beloved; behold, you are comely; your eyes are like doves.”
16 “Behold, you are comely, my beloved, yea pleasant; also our couch is leafy.
17 The beams of our houses are cedars; our corridors are cypresses.”
