with all trees of frankincense,

myrrh and aloes,

with all choice spices—

You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride;

with every kind of incense tree,

with myrrh and aloes

with all the trees of frankincense,

myrrh and aloes,

with all the best spices.

You are my private garden, my treasure, my bride,

a secluded spring, a hidden fountain.

Your thighs shelter a paradise of pomegranates

with rare spices—

henna with nard,

nard and saffron,

fragrant calamus and cinnamon,

with all the trees of frankincense, myrrh, and aloes,

and every other lovely spice.

myrrh and aloes with all chief spices.

Calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense;

Myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
