Song of Solomon 6:5

New English Translation

⁵Turn your eyes away from me—
they overwhelm^[a] me!
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from Mount Gilead.

Song of Solomon 6:5 tn The verb רָהַב (rahav) should be nuanced “overwhelm” or “arouse” rather than “storm against,” “make proud,” “confuse,” “dazzle,” or “overcome” (BDB 923 s.v. רָהַב).

Song of Solomon 6:5

King James Version

⁵Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

⁵Turn your eyes from me;
they overwhelm me.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from Gilead.^(A)
