Song of Solomon 4:15

Lebanon
Love for othersMarriage

13 Your branches are an orchard of pomegranates with the choicest of fruits, with henna and nard,

14 with nard and saffron, with calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of frankincense tree, with myrrh and aloes, with all the finest spices.

You are a garden spring, a well of fresh water flowing down from Lebanon.

16 Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind. Breathe on my garden and spread the fragrance of its spices. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choicest fruits.
