The Song of Songs 3:5

The Adjuration Refrain

The Beloved to the Maidens:

3:5 ¹ 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 4:16

The Beloved to Her Lover:

4:16 Awake, O north wind; come, O south wind!

Blow on my garden so that its fragrant spices may send out their sweet smell. ² 

May my beloved come into his garden

and eat its delightful fruit!
