SECTION 5.

The Nightmare Is Over And She Is Again With Her Beloved (Song of Solomon 6:4).

In this brief song the Beloved now describes the beauties of the one he loves in such a way that the daughters of Jerusalem want her to return among them, for once again she is the beloved of Solomon (shulamith - ‘the one of Shelomoh'). But she gently rebuffs them. She knows that it was Jerusalem that had previously weakened her love for him, and now she wants to be with him in the place of their first love. She no longer wants the pleasures of the world.
