Song of Songs 7:12-13
EasyEnglish Bible
12 We can get up early in the morning
and go to the vineyards.
We can see if the vines have started to make new leaves.
We can see if their flowers have opened.
We can see if the pomegranate trees have flowers.
When we are there
I will give my love to you.
13 The mandrake plants send out their sweet smell.
At our door, there are many good things to eat.[a]
I have stored many good things that are both old and new.
I have kept them all for you, my lover.
Footnotes
- 7:13 A mandrake is a plant that people eat. Its root has a shape like a human body. People thought that it helped them to enjoy sex. Sometimes people stored fruit over the door of their house. Then it would become dry, sweet fruit that people would enjoy.
