(Son 4:9) Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart

with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

(Son 4:10) How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

(Son 4:11) Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy

tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

(Son 1:6) Look 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.

(Son 4:9) Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart

with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

(Son 4:10) How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

(Son 4:11) Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy

tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

(Joh 20:17) Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not;

for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say

unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your

Father; and to my God, and your God.

(Son 4:12) A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain

sealed.

NOT OPEN

(Pro 5:15-20) Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running

waters out of thine own well. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. Let them be only thine own, and not

strangers' with thee. Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts

satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.

And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

(Php 4:11) Not that I speak in respect of

want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to

be content.

(2Pe 2:14) Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease

from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have

exercised with covetous practices; cursed

children:

(Son 4:12) A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain

sealed.

NOT OPEN

(Son 4:13) Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits;

camphire, with spikenard,

(Son 4:14) Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees

of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:

(Joh 12:1) Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised

from the dead.

(Joh 12:2) There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of

them that sat at the table with him.

(Joh 12:3) Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and

anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled

with the odour of the ointment.

Camphire: The leaves and young twigs were ground into powder and mixed with paste and hot water

Saffron: Their stigmas are dried, pulverized, and pressed into cakes that are used for making yellow dyes in medicine, and for flavoring

Frankincense: Although many types of plants were used as incense, only one is mentioned in Scripture as frankincense. The Hebrew word for this plant is lebonah, which means "incense" or "freely burning." .

NOTES

(Son 4:15) A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams

from Lebanon.

(Joh 7:37) In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and

drink.

(Joh 7:38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall

flow rivers of living water.

(Joh 7:39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet

glorified.)

(Psa 23:5) Thou preparest a table before me in the

presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with

oil; my cup runneth over.

(Son 4:16) Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my

garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into

his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

(Pro 31:16) She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

(Joh 15:16) Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go

and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that

whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it

you.

(Gen 29:31) And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but

Rachel was barren.

(Gen 29:32) And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my

affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.

(Gen 29:33) And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath

heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name

Simeon.

(Gen 29:34) And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name

called Levi.

(Gen 30:1) And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel

envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me

children, or else I die.

CHANGE OF NARRATIVE

(Son 5:1) I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have

drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly,

O beloved.

(Isa 55:1) Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the

waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and

eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and

without price.

(Son 5:2) I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my

sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.(Son 5:3) I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I

have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?(Son 5:4) My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the

door, and my bowels were moved for him.(Son 5:5) I rose up to open to my beloved; and my

hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

(Son 5:6) I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called

him, but he gave me no answer.

sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we

us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us

put on the armour of light.

feet; how shall I defile them?
