Come away, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the spice-laden mountains

Song of songs 8:8-14

We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for? If she is a wall, we will build towers of silver on herIf she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar. FRIEND

I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. Thus I have become in his eyes like one bringing contentment. SHE

Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon; he let out his vineyard to tenantsEach was to bring for its fruit a thousand shekels of silver. But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit. SHE

You who dwell in the gardens with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice! HE

Come away, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the spice-laden mountains. SHE

The final invitation is to a continued celebration of the love and communion which the happy couple shares. The inclusion of the Song of Solomen in the Bible means that 'the joys of physical union and mutual enjoyment are stamped with God's approval.

Why?

Lover enjoys this love and their vineyard fruits. There is their own world in love.

How?

Yes, all of our enjoyment and love is stamped with God's approval!
