Song of Solomon

Chapter 7
{Why didn't Solomon [S] chase and kill the Shepherd lover [SL}?- Chapter 7 describes this - the naked dance of the Jealous Queen [JQ]}

[S]1~~ "How beautiful are thy feet with shoes."

[S]~~ "O prince's daughter! The hollow of thy thighs are like jewels {sexiest part of the woman to many- the setting for the female genitalia}, the work of the hands of a cunning workman." {when describing the SW Solomon started with her head with JQ he starts at the feet!}

[S]2~~ "Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor." {S is getting stimulated}

[S]~~ "Thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies." {symmetry of her lower body}

[S]3~~"Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins." {symmetry of her upper body}

[S]4~~ "Thy neck is as a tower of ivory."

[S]~~ "Thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim." {very clear eyes}

[S]~~" Thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus." {finely shaped and delicate}

[S]5~~ "Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple." {very beautiful coloring}

[S]~~ "The king is held in the tresses." {S sits there clapping at her dance}

[S]6~~ "How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!" {for pleasure only, obviously no category 2 love indicated by this phrase}

 [S]7~~ "This thy stature is like to a palm tree {symmetry again}, and thy breasts to clusters." {could be clusters of fruit on palm tree}

[S]8~~ "I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples" {S ready to take action}

[S]9~~ "And the roof of thy mouth {French kiss} like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down smoothly, gliding over the lips and the teeth." {embracing and kissing - this is why S did not pursue -- too busy with his own horizontal dance with the JQ}

{ACT 4 (7:10- 8:04)}

{RESCUE SCENE -- SW ESCAPES AND SL COMES TO DELIVER HIS LOVE}

[SW to SL after rescue] 10~~ "I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me."

[SL] 11~~ "Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages." {long term relationship discussed - right man/ right woman}

[SL] 12~~ "Let us get up early to see the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth. There will I give thee my loves." {loves is plural -- soul love and physical love}

[SW] 13~~ "The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits {glorious life ahead}, new and old {had relationships in past and more to come}, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved." {saved herself for her right man}
