Song of Songs 2:8
Listen! My beloved approaches.
What it says
The bride hears the beloved approaching over the mountains.
What it is doing
This verse begins the remembered scene of arrival.
In context
3Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest 4He has brought me to the house of wine, 5Sustain me with raisins; 6His left hand is under my head, 7O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you 8Listen! My beloved approaches. 9My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. 10My beloved calls to me, 11For now the winter is past; 12The flowers have appeared in the countryside; 13The fig tree ripens its figs;
