Shir Hashirim 3:5-8 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

5. I charge you, O ye banot Yerushalayim, by the gazelles, and by the deer of the sadeh, that ye arouse nor awake HaAhavah till it pleases [i.e., until its own time, see 2:7; 8:4].

6. Who is this that cometh out of the midbar like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense from all the fragrant powders of the rokhel (merchant)?

7. Hinei, his conveyance [see palanquin, 3:9], which is Sh'lomo's; threescore gibborim (valiant men) are around it, of the Gibborei Yisroel.

8. They all hold swords, being expert in michamah (war); every man hath his cherev (sword) at his side against the pachad (terror, dread) of the nights.
