Song of Songs
Song of Songs is like a play. Different people talk to one another or about one another.
In this version of the Bible, we are told who is speaking. These headings weren’t in the original book. But they help us to understand the book.
Hummy thinks most of the songs in the world are about love.
People have always thought that the love between a man and a woman is a wonderful thing. That may be why they write so many songs about it.
Song of Songs is God’s song about love. It’s a song that explains how he wants love to be.
This kind of love is important to God. That’s why this book is in the Bible.
1:1-9
Thinky found out something! This book is a song in which two people talk about their love for each other.
Let us find out who they are.
- The man’s name is in verses 1 and 4.
- The woman’s name is in verses 1 and 8.
Now let us find words that tell us how much they love each other.
- What words does he say in verses 2 and 9?
- What does the woman say in the first line of verse 7?
When two people love each other, they will tell each other that they do.
6:8-10
What did the bridegroom mean when he said the following?
There might be 60 queens and 80 concubines.
In those days, people used the numbers 60 and 80 when they meant thousands or countless.
The bridegroom thought there was no other woman like his bride.
For him, she was the most beautiful woman on earth!
