Song of Songs 3:9

Wood of Lebanon

The Night Search and the Royal Procession · Song of Songs 3

Story guide: The poem turns from the procession to the construction of Solomon's palanquin, a carrying seat made from Lebanon's wood. The timber and unfinished frame help you understand the unfamiliar object. This craft image visualizes its material, while the verse gives no workshop scene, conversation, or account of the building process.
