Song of Solomon 8:13

Compare all

11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon;
^aHe leased the vineyard to keepers;
Everyone was to bring for its fruit
A thousand silver coins.

(To Solomon)

12 My own vineyard is before me.
You, O Solomon, may have a thousand,
And those who tend its fruit two hundred.

The Beloved

13 You who dwell in the gardens,
The companions listen for your voice—
^aLet me hear it!

The Shulamite

14 ^aMake¹ haste, my beloved,
And ^bbe like a gazelle
Or a young stag
On the mountains of spices.

Thou that dwellest in the gardens - This is supposed to refer to the bridegroom asking permission of his spouse early in the morning to retire, as was his usual custom. He intimates the companions were waiting to hear, and he wished to hear it in the way of permission to depart.
