Song of Solomon 5:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² His eyes are like doves [1:15]
    by ·springs [streams] of water.
They seem to be bathed in ·cream [milk; ^Creferring to the white of the eye]
    ·and are set like jewels [or sitting by pools].
¹³ His cheeks are like beds of spices [^Chis beard is perfumed];
    ·they smell like mounds of perfume [^Lgrowing aromatics].
His lips are like lilies
    flowing with myrrh [4:14].
¹⁴ His ·hands [or arms] are like gold ·hinges [or bars],
    ·filled with jewels [^Lset with Tarshish stones; ^Ca location in Spain; perhaps a black jet stone or golden topaz].
His ·body [or member] is like ·shiny ivory [or an ivory tusk]
    ·covered with sapphires [ornamented with lapis].
