Survey The River
Build the lens first: who wrote the book, when it was written, who heard it first, and why it exists.
Question 1
Who is being addressed — the simple, the wise, or the suffering?
Question 2
What does this section say about the fear of the Lord?
Question 3
How does this challenge the way I currently live?
The Song of Songs (Biblical Hebrew: שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים, romanized: Šīr hašŠīrīm), also called the Canticle of Canticles or the Song of Solomon, is a biblical poem, one of the five megillot ("scrolls") in the Ketuvim ("writings"), the last section of the Tanakh. Unlike other books in the Hebrew Bible, it is erotic poetry; lovers express passionate desire, exchange compliments, and invite one another to enjoy.

Your thighs are like jewels, your breasts like the fruit of a palm. May your kisses be like wine! Beloved, let us go into the fields.
Chapter 8
Target zoneDo not awaken love until it pleases. Love is as strong as death. Solomon had a vineyard, but mine is my own. Make haste, my beloved!
