Word Study Wednesday

The book that uses our word of the month the most?  Song of Solomon.  Here are some of my favorite passages:

8 The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping over the mountains, bounding over the hills. ... 10 My beloved speaks and says to me: "Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away, [Sng 2:8, 10 ESV]

8 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love. 9 [Others] What is your beloved more than another beloved, O most beautiful among women? What is your beloved more than another beloved, that you thus adjure us? [Sng 5:8-9 ESV]

1 [Others] Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you? ... 3 I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he grazes among the lilies. [Sng 6:1, 3 ESV]

14 [She] Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices. [Sng 8:14 ESV]

My beloved has set me apart.  My beloved has made me long to be with him.  My beloved has taken my punishment and died for me.  My beloved will return to gather me and will always be with me from that point on.  I am my beloved's and He is mine.
