(the song of songs (Hebrew: שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים, Šīr HašŠīrīm ; Greek: ᾎσμα ᾈσμάτων, Âisma Aismátōn), also known as the Song of Solomon, Canticles, or the Canticle of Canticles, is one of the “scrolls” (megillot) of the Writings (Ketuvim), the last section of the Tanakh or “hebrew bible”)
It is also the fifth book of Wisdom in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.
The Song of Songs is read on the Sabbath during the Passover, marking the beginning of the grain harvest and commemorating the Exodus from Egypt.
Scripturally, the Song of Songs is unique in its celebration of sexual love.
It gives “the voices of two lovers, praising each other, yearning for each other, proffering invitations to enjoy”.
The two each desire the other and rejoice in their sexual intimacy.
The “daughters of Jerusalem” form a chorus to the lovers, functioning as an audience whose participation in the lovers’ erotic encounters facilitates the participation of the reader.
(jewish tradition reads it as an allegory of the relationship between God and israel)
(christian tradition, in addition to appreciating the literal meaning of a romantic song between man and woman, has read the poem as an allegory of Christ and his “bride”, the “christian church”)
