2 Let him kiss me with the neshikot (kisses) of his mouth;
for better is dodecha (thy love) than yayin (wine).
3 Tovim is the fragrance of thy shmanim (ointments);
thy shem (name) is like shemen (ointment) poured forth;
therefore do the alamot love thee.1:3 alamot, young unmarried virgins; pl of almah virgin; see Shir Song 6:8; Isa 7:14; Gn 24:43; Ex 2:8; Prov 30:19, where the word has this explicit or implicit meaning throughout the Tanakh; see The Translator to the Reader
