The Song of Songs 2:7

The Beloved to the Maidens:

by the gazelles and by the young does of the open fields:

Do not awaken or arouse love until it pleases!

The Song of Songs 3:5

The Beloved to the Maidens:

3:5 I admonish you, O maidens of Jerusalem,

by the gazelles and by the young does of the open fields:

“Do not awake or arouse love until it pleases!”

The Song of Songs 7:12

7:12 Let us rise early to go to the vineyards,

to see if the vines have budded,

to see if their blossoms have opened,

if the pomegranates are in bloom –

there I will give you my love.
