Song of Songs 2:16-17 - Poetic Refrain(S)

16 (The Shulammite Bride)
“My beloved is mine and I am his;
He pastures his flock among the lilies.
17
“Until the cool of the day when the shadows flee away,
Return quickly, my beloved, and be like a gazelle
Or a young stag on the mountains of Bether [which separate us].” Cross references: Song of Solomon 2:6 : Deut 33:27; Matt 28:20 Song of Solomon 2:8 : John 10:27 Song of Solomon 2:16 : Matt 10:32; Acts 4:12 end of crossrefs
