Shir Hashirim 1:8-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

8. If thou know not, O thou fairest among nashim, go thy way forth by the footprints of the tzon, and feed thy young goats beside the mishkenot haro'im (the tents of the shepherds).

9. O my love, to a susah (mare) among the chariots of Pharaoh do I compare thee.

10. Thy cheeks are lovely with ornaments, thy tzavar (neck) with necklaces.

11. Ornaments of zahav will we make for thee, studded with kesef.

12. While the Melech is at his table, my spikenard perfume has yielded its fragrance.

13. Dodi (my beloved) is to me a sachet of myrrh that lieth in my bosom.

14. Dodi (my beloved) is to me as a cluster of henna blooms in the kramim (vineyards) of Ein-Gedi.

15. See, thou art yafeh (fair), my love; see, thou art fair; thine eynayim are yonim (doves).

16. See, thou art yafeh (handsome), dodi (my beloved), yea, na'im (pleasing); also our couch is verdant.
