Text
(ג:ו) מִ֣י זֹ֗את עֹלָה֙ מִן־הַמִּדְבָּ֔ר, מְקֻטֶּ֤רֶת מֹר֙ וּלְבוֹנָ֔ה:
(ב:ח) ק֣וֹל דּוֹדִ֔י הִנֵּה־זֶ֖ה בָּ֑א מְדַלֵּג֙ עַל־הֶ֣הָרִ֔ים מְקַפֵּ֖ץ עַל־הַגְּבָעֽוֹת׃
(ב:ו) שְׂמֹאלוֹ֙ תַּ֣חַת לְרֹאשִׁ֔י וִימִינ֖וֹ תְּחַבְּקֵֽנִי׃
(3:6) Who is she that comes up from the desert, In clouds of myrrh and frankincense?
(2:8) Hark! My beloved!
There he comes,
leaping over mountains,
bounding over hills.
(2:6) His left hand was under my head, and
his right arm embraced me.
Mi zot ola min hamidbar, mekuteret mor ulevona.
Kol dodi hineh zeh ba, medaleg al heharim, mekapetz al vagva'ot.
Smolo tachat leroshi vimino techabkeni.
