cmotherofpirl Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 just remember this part as well Song of Songs 8:6-7 6 Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy as hard as hell, the lamps thereof are fire and flames. 7 Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, he shall despise it as nothing.

Richard Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 In all my casual flicking through the Good Book, I'd never noticed this part! (I haven't been much of a religious scholar as you may have gathered) I've had a short look and it is really beautiful, thanks Lil Red! I'm going to read it in more detail now. I'll not be short of a verse for my beloved's Valentine card this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Actually, if I descibed my wife as: "...a mare of the Pharaoh's chariots." (chapter 1 verse 9) or said: "Your belly is a heap of wheat." (chapter 7 verse 2) I might get a slap! I'm sure that back when these phrases were written, they were delghtful things to say!

Lil Red Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 definitely check out the footnotes on those verses. for verse 9: The bridegroom compares the girl's beauty to the rich adornment of the royal chariot of Pharaoh. for verse 2, I actually have: "How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the handiwork of an artist. (verse 3) Your navel is a round bowl that should never lack for mixed wine. Your body is a heap of wheat encircled with lilies. and for those verses, this is what my footnotes say: "A flattering description of the girl's charms. Rounded...jewels: the meaning of these Hebrew words is not certain. Wine and wheat are symbolic of fertility; they are here associated with parts of the body which have a close relation to fruitfulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 ...and once again, Richard gets bitten by not reading the small print! Serves me right for buying a cheap Bible with no footnotes! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
