The Song of Songs 6:5

6:5 Turn your eyes away from me –

they overwhelm ¹  me!

Your hair is like a flock of goats

descending from Mount Gilead.

The Song of Songs 6:7

6:7 Like a slice of pomegranate

is your forehead ²  behind your veil.

¹ tn The verb רָהַב (rahav) should be nuanced “overwhelm” or “arouse” rather than “storm against,” “make proud,” “confuse,” “dazzle,” or “overcome” (BDB 923 s.v. רָהַב).

² tn Alternately, “your cheeks” or “your temple.” See 4:3.
