This chapter is divided into 13 verses.Table of ContentsTextual witnesses[edit]Structure[edit]Male: Third descriptive poem for the female (7:1-9; [Masoretic 7:2-10])[edit]Verse 5[edit]Female: Springtime and love (7:10\u201313; [Masoretic 7:11\u201314])[edit]Verse 10[edit]Verse 13[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Sources[edit]External links[edit]Textual witnesses[edit]Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes the Codex Leningradensis (1008).[a] Some fragments containing parts of this chapter were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls: 4Q106 (4QCanta); 30 BCE-30 CE; extant verses 1\u20137).[7][8][9]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; G{displaystyle {mathfrak {G}}}B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: G{displaystyle {mathfrak {G}}}S; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; G{displaystyle {mathfrak {G}}}A; 5th century).       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Structure[edit]The Modern English Version (MEV) identifies the speakers in this chapter as:Biblical scholar Athalya Brenner notes that verses 1 to 10 are “probably in a male voice”, and 11 to 14 in a female voice. However, Andrew Harper argues that the opening verses (verses 1 to 6) contain the praises sung by “the ladies of the hareem”.[11]Male: Third descriptive poem for the female (7:1-9; [Masoretic 7:2-10])[edit]A voice, likely of the man, calling to the woman (“the Shulammite” in Song 6:13) to dance, then describing her body from toe to head in a poem or “wa\u1e63f” (verses 2\u20137), closing with a response indicating male desire (verses 8\u20139), which is followed perhaps by a “female retort” (verse 10) to round off this passage. This descriptive poem by the man still belongs to a long section concerning the desire and love in the country which continues until 8:4. The man’s wa\u1e63f and the other ones (4:1-8; 5:10-16; 6:4-10) theologically demonstrate the heart of the Song that values the body as not evil but good even worthy of praise, and respects the body with an appreciative focus (rather than lurid). Hess notes that this reflects ‘the fundamental value of God’s creation as good and the human body as a key part of that creation, whether at the beginning (Genesis 1:26\u201328) or redeemed in the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:42, 44)’.Verse 5[edit]Your head crowns like Carmel,       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4and your flowing hair is like purple;a king is held captive in the tresses.[14]Female: Springtime and love (7:10\u201313; [Masoretic 7:11\u201314])[edit]In this section, one song (or several songs) in a female voice, seductively invites the man to go outdoors where the woman will give herself to him (cf. 4:9-14). The invitation contains a play on words based on the man’s earlier expressions, such as “grape blossoms” in verse 12, which is related to 2:11\u201313, and “to see if the vines had blossomed, if pomegranates bloomed” in verse 12, which can be related to 5:11\u201312.Verse 10[edit]I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.[19]Although similar to the line in Song 2:16 and Song 6:3, here the mutual belonging to each other is not expressed, and instead, the woman refers to the previous expression of desire of the man to her, while confirming that she belongs to him (“I am my beloved’s“).Verse 13[edit]The mandrakes give forth fragrance,and at our doors are all choice fruits,new as well as old,which I have laid up for you, my beloved.[21]See also[edit]^ Since 1947 the current text of Aleppo Codex is missing Song of Songs 3:11, after the word \u05e6\u05d9\u05d5\u05df (“Zion”), to the end.[6]References[edit]^ Holman Illustrated Bible Handbook.
