Song of Songs 2:3-12

³And among the other men, you, the man who loves me, are like MET an apple/fruit tree that grows in the forest. You are like a tree whose shadow protects me from the sun, and your being close to me EUP is like MET eating sweet fruit.

⁴You led me to the ◄banquet room/room where we could make love►, and it is evident that you love me very much.

⁵Refresh me and strengthen me with your lovemaking like I am refreshed by eating MET, EUP raisins and other fruit, because I very much desire that you love me even more.

⁶Put your left arm under my head and with your right arm hold me close.

⁷You young women of Jerusalem, solemnly promise me, while the does and gazelles are listening, that you will not disturb us while we are making love until we are ready to quit.

⁸I hear the voice of the man who loves me. It is as though MET he is leaping over the mountains and skipping over the hills

⁹like SIM a deer or a gazelle. Now he is standing outside the wall of our house, looking in the window, and peering through the ◄lattice/wooden strips inside the window frame►.

¹⁰He spoke to me and said, “You whom I love, get up; my beautiful one, come with me CHI!

¹¹Look, the ◄winter/cold season► is ended; the rain has stopped;

¹²flowers are blooming throughout the country/land. It is now time to sing; we hear the doves cooing.
