Footnotes

  1. Song of Solomon 8:9 trim Or “supports.” Often horizontal beams and towers were built into walls to strengthen and support them. But here, this seems to be a decoration.
  2. Song of Solomon 8:10 he is satisfied with me Literally, “in his eyes I find peace.” In Hebrew this is also like the names “Solomon” and “Shulamith.”
  3. Song of Solomon 8:11 1000 shekels About 25 pounds (11.5 kg). Also in verse 12.
