6:4 ver. 10awesome as an army with banners.

5Turn away your eyes from me,

for they overwhelm me—

6:5 ch. 4:1Your hair is like a flock of goats

leaping down the slopes of Gilead.

66:6 ch. 4:2Your teeth are like a flock of ewes

that have come up from the washing;

all of them bear twins;

not one among them has lost its young.

76:7 ch. 4:3Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate

behind your veil.

8There are 6:8 [ch. 3:7] sixty 6:8 [1 Kgs. 11:3] queens and eighty 6:8 [1 Kgs. 11:3] concubines,

and 6:8 Ps. 45:9, 14virgins without number.

9My 6:9 See ch. 2:14dove, my 6:9 ch. 5:2perfect one, is the only one,

the only one of her mother,

pure to 6:9 Prov. 17:25her who bore her.

6:9 [Gen. 30:13] The young women saw her and called her blessed;

6:9 [See ver. 8above]the queens and 6:9 [See ver. 8above]concubines also, and they praised her.

to look at 6:11 [Job 8:11, 12] the blossoms of the valley,

6:11 ch. 7:12to see whether the vines had budded,

whether the pomegranates were in bloom.

126:12 [Ps. 35:8; Prov. 5:6] Before I was aware, my desire set me

among 6:12 [2 Kgs. 2:12; 13:14]the chariots of my kinsman, a prince.6:12 Or chariots of Ammi-Nadib
