Song of Solomon 3:9

In this verse we have a continuation of the spectator's or warder's call to those who are looking out at the royal cavalcade from the house or palace where the Shulammite is. The speaker must be conceived as uttering an aside to those about him, giving a description of the miṭṭâhfrom his previous knowledge. Here he calls it an appiryôn, which the LXX translate by phǒreion, which means a litter in which one is borne. This is undoubtedly the correct meaning, but the derivation of the word is uncertain. It may be, as Cheyne says, Encycl. Bibl., art. -Canticles," a mere corruption.

the wood ofLebanon Lit. the woods, i.e. the cedar and the cypress.
