Chorus
“Who is that coming up from the wilderness?
Who is that leaning upon her beloved?”
The chorus joins in proclaiming the couple has been united. They are coming out of the wilderness together.
the chorus
Please come back (Song 6:13-6:13)
Chorus
“Return!
Return!
O Shulammite!
Return!
Return!
Thus we may look upon you.”
At the same time, the chorus or daughters of Jerusalem want this female lover, who is called a Shulammite, to return. They wanted to look at her. This name of Shulammite means pacifier. She may also have been from Shulen or Shunen, a northern Israelite town. There is some dispute whether this and the following verse were the end part of chapter 6 or the beginning of chapter 7. I have chosen to put it at the end of chapter 6 as in the Oxford Bible.
