Female lover
“While the king was on his couch,
My nard gave forth its fragrance.
My beloved is to me
A bag of myrrh,
That lies between my breasts.
My beloved is to me
A cluster of henna blossoms
In the vineyards of En-gedi.”
This female lover responded, while the king was on his couch. She said that her nard plant had a lovely fragrance. Myrrh was another fragrant plant that had a lovely aroma. This bag of myrrh was placed between her breasts. He was like a cluster of colored blossoms in the vineyards. Today En-gedi is a natural preserve on the edge of the Dead Sea, so that it must have been a natural place of beauty for years.
