Rav Cahana went to the home of Rav and lay down under his bed. [Rav Cahana] heard [Rav] talk, laugh, and 'do his needs' [that is engage in sexual intercourse with his wife.] Rav Cahana said to himself, ' Is the mouth of my teacher liker one who has never before teasted food?!!' Rav, [suddenly aware of Rav Cahana's presence] said, 'Cahana! Are you here!? Get out!! This is not proper behaviour!!' Rav Cahana replied, 'This is Torah, which I need to learn.'

(Trans. Danya Ruttenberg)

(1) A woman is acquired in three ways, and she acquires herself in two ways. She is acquired through money, through a document, or through sexual intercourse.

(19) And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days; and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

(28) But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.

(22) And regarding a male, do not lie the lyings of a woman; it is a toevah.

(18) And the ETERNAL God said: ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.’

(1) And the ETERNAL spoke unto Moses, saying: (2) Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them: Ye shall be holy; for I the ETERNAL your God am holy.

(17) Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbour, and not bear sin because of him. (18) Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the ETERNAL.

(2) Kiss me, make me drunk with your kisses!

Your sweet loving

is better than wine

(3) You are fragrant,

you are myrrh and aloes

All the youhng women want you.

(4) Take me by the hand, let us run together!
