- 1The song of songs, which is Solomon's.שִׁ֥יר הַשִּׁירִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר לִשְׁלֹמֹֽה
- 2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.יִשָּׁקֵ֨נִי֙ מִנְּשִׁיק֣וֹת פִּ֔יהוּ כִּֽי טוֹבִ֥ים דֹּדֶ֖יךָ מִיָּֽיִן
- 3Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.לְרֵ֨יחַ֙ שְׁמָנֶ֣יךָ טוֹבִ֔ים שֶׁ֖מֶן תּוּרַ֣ק שְׁמֶ֑ךָ עַל כֵּ֖ן עֲלָמ֥וֹת אֲהֵבֽוּךָ
- 4Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.מָשְׁכֵ֖נִי אַחֲרֶ֣יךָ נָּר֑וּצָה הֱבִיאַ֨נִי הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ חֲדָרָ֗יו נָגִ֤ילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה֙ נַזְכִּ֤ירָה דֹדֶ֨יךָ֙ מִיַּ֔יִן מֵישָׁרִ֖ים אֲהֵבֽוּךָ
- 5I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.שְׁחוֹרָ֤ה אֲנִי֙ וְֽנָאוָ֔ה בְּנ֖וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם כְּאָהֳלֵ֣י קֵדָ֔ר כִּירִיע֖וֹת שְׁלֹמֹֽה
- 6Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.אַל תִּרְא֨וּנִי֙ שֶׁאֲנִ֣י שְׁחַרְחֹ֔רֶת שֶׁשֱּׁזָפַ֖תְנִי הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ בְּנֵ֧י אִמִּ֣י נִֽחֲרוּ שָׂמֻ֨נִי֙ נֹטֵרָ֣ה אֶת הַכְּרָמִ֔ים כַּרְמִ֥י לֹ֥א נָטָֽרְתִּי
- 7Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?הַגִּ֣ידָה שֶׁ֤אָהֲבָה֙ נַפְשִׁ֔י אֵיכָ֣ה תִרְעֶ֔ה אֵיכָ֖ה תַּרְבִּ֣יץ בַּֽצָּהֳרָ֑יִם שַׁלָּמָ֤ה אֶֽהְיֶה֙ כְּעֹ֣טְיָ֔ה עַ֖ל עֶדְרֵ֥י חֲבֵרֶֽיךָ
- 8If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.אִם לֹ֤א תֵדְעִי֙ הַיָּפָ֖ה בַּנָּשִׁ֑ים צְֽאִי בְּעִקְבֵ֣י הַצֹּ֗אן וּרְעִי֙ אֶת גְּדִיֹּתַ֔יִךְ עַ֖ל מִשְׁכְּנ֥וֹת הָרֹעִֽים
- 9I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.לְסֻסָתִי֙ בְּרִכְבֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה דִּמִּיתִ֖יךְ רַעְיָתִֽי
- 10Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.נָאו֤וּ לְחָיַ֨יִךְ֙ בַּתֹּרִ֔ים צַוָּארֵ֖ךְ בַּחֲרוּזִֽים
- 11We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.תּוֹרֵ֤י זָהָב֙ נַעֲשֶׂה עִ֖ם נְקֻדּ֥וֹת הַכָּֽסֶף
- 12While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.עַד שֶׁ֤הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ בִּמְסִבּ֔וֹ נִרְדִּ֖י נָתַ֥ן רֵיחֽוֹ
- 13A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.צְר֨וֹר הַמֹּ֤ר דּוֹדִי֙ בֵּ֥ין שָׁדַ֖י יָלִֽין
- 14My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.אֶשְׁכֹּ֨ל הַכֹּ֤פֶר דּוֹדִי֙ בְּכַרְמֵ֖י גֶּֽדִי
- 15Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.הִנָּ֤ךְ יָפָה֙ רַעְיָתִ֔י הִנָּ֥ךְ יָפָ֖ה עֵינַ֥יִךְ יוֹנִֽים
- 16Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.הִנְּךָ֨ יָפֶ֤ה דוֹדִי֙ אַ֣ף נָעִ֔ים אַף עַרְשֵׂ֖נוּ רַעֲנָנָֽה
- 17The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.קֹר֤וֹת בָּתֵּ֨ינוּ֙ אֲרָזִ֔ים רחיטנו רַהִיטֵ֖נוּ בְּרוֹתִֽים

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
