sorry I asked .... I'll never be able to look at myself in the mirror and not think of moses and aaron .... but seriously bb thank you for providing the artscroll translation .... it seems to me that part of the power of the song of songs is its ability to create desire and passion which one of the beautiful ways of cleaving to G!d .... but even without considering the inner meaning, the whole of verse 4 relates to the description of the beautiful woman .... with the first line of each section in verse 4 (from one of my several translations) 4:1 "how beautiful you are my love...your hair like a flock of goats ....4:2 you teeth white ewes .... 4:3 a crimson ribbon your lips .... 4:4 your neck is a tower of david ....4:5 your breasts are two fawns .... 4:6 before day breaths, before the shadows of night are gone, I will hurry to the mountain of myrrh, the hill of frankincense .... 4:7 you are beautiful my love, my perfect one " ....
to me, and I know my view does not always resonate with others at times .... the whole concept of the sacrifice of animals must also be seen in the symbols and the language .... like the song of songs, it is about the love of a woman only one one level, its deeper meaning is much more profound .... the sacrifice of animals is about a physical sacrifice only on the level of the story, its inner meaning is much more profound and not about an actual sacrifice of an animal at all .... but these are just my thoughts to share in the dialogue .... 8:2 "I would bring you to the house of my mother and she would teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, my pomegranate wine."
aloha nui, poh
p.s. my grandson told me a few months ago .... "grandma, you are like heaven, your eyes are like pixie dust, your hug feels like a thousand suns hugging me, your mouth is like pixie's glow, when I rub your back, I feel like I'm rubbing a genie's lamp, when you laugh it feels like your making a real genie come to life" .... he's only 9 years old but has the heart of an old poet .... does his words fill me with great passion, of course ....
