Every one of which bears twins,
And none is1 barren among them.

And the shadows flee away,
I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh
And to the hill of frankincense.

I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh
And to the hill of frankincense.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse,

Look from the top of Amana,
From the top of Senir aand Hermon,
From the lions’ dens,
From the mountains of the leopards.
With me from Lebanon.
Look from the top of Amana,
From the top of Senir aand Hermon,
From the lions’ dens,
From the mountains of the leopards.
9 You have ravished my heart,
My sister, my spouse;
You have ravished my heart
With one look of your eyes,
With one link of your necklace.
My sister, my spouse;
You have ravished my heart
With one look of your eyes,
With one link of your necklace.
