SONG OF SOLOMON 1

THE BRIDEGROOM AND HIS BRIDE DELIGHT IN EACH OTHER

In the opening chapter, the woman is referenced as the bride, and she confesses her love to her future husband. She starts the book by saying “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!” And describes his love as better than wine. 

Besides the man and the woman, the other voices in this book are referenced as “others” or “friends.” These friends respond to the couple in support of the relationship, rejoicing in their love for each other. 

The woman acknowledges that her skin is darker than others because she has been in the sun working in the vineyard. The man responds by telling her that she is the most beautiful among women.
