Context Readings

Up From The Wilderness And Under The Apple Tree

4 Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you:
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time.
5 Y Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
leaning on the one she loves?


W I awakened you under the apricot tree.
There your mother conceived you;
there she conceived and gave you birth.
6 Set me as a seal on your heart,
as a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death;
ardent love is as unrelenting as Sheol.
Love’s flames are fiery flames
the fiercest of all.
