Guiding Questions: Song of Songs 6

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. The metaphorical use of lilies is repeated. What does it signify?
  2. Is Tirzah in Song of Songs 6:4 a woman or a city?
  3. The imagery in Song of Songs 6:5-7 is identical with that in an earlier chapter. Does the repetition detract from its power?
  4. The end of Song of Songs 6:9 is reminiscent of a famous passage in Proverbs 31; what is the contrast of the two contexts?
  5. What is the lover seeking in Song of Songs 6:11?
