“Before the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will make my way to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense.”
Song of Solomon 4:6 (BSB)
Context Reading
4Your neck is like the tower of David, built with rows of stones; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors. 5Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle grazing among the lilies. 6Before the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will make my way to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense. 7You are altogether beautiful, my darling; in you there is no flaw. 8Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, come with me from Lebanon! Descend from the peak of Amana, from the summits of Senir and Hermon, from the dens of the lions, from the mountains of the leopards.
