it up dies instantly!3. In the Bible, the Hebrew word translated
mandrake is

Genesis (30: 14-22) and again in the erotically-charged Song of
Songs (7: 12-14).

Come, my lover! Let us go out to the fields,let us pass the
night among the henna.
Let us go early to the vineyards
and see if the vines are in bloom,
if the buds have opened,
if the pomegranates have blossomed.
There I will give you my love;
the mandrakes give forth fragrance,
and over our doors are all choice fruits;
fruits both fresh and dried, my lover,
have I kept in store for you.
(Song of Songs 7: 12-14)
