The Return to the Vineyards

to see if the vines had budded
or if the pomegranates were in bloom.
Footnotes
- Song of Solomon 6:11 sn It is difficult to determine whether the speaker in 6:11-12 is Solomon or the Beloved.
- Song of Solomon 6:11 tn The term אֱגוֹז (ʾegoz, “nut”) probably refers to the “walnut” or “walnut tree” (juglans regia) (DCH 1:116 s.v. אֱגוֹז). The singular form is used collectively here to refer to a grove of walnut trees.
- Song of Solomon 6:11 sn It is not clear whether the “valley” in 6:12 is a physical valley (Jezreel Valley?), a figurative description of their love relationship, or a double entendre.
