Solomon’s Vineyard and the Beloved’s Vineyard

The Beloved to Her Lover:

8:11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-Hamon;

he leased out39 the vineyard to those who maintained it.

Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.

8:12 My vineyard,40 which belongs to me,41 is at my disposal alone.42

The thousand shekels belong to you, O Solomon,

and two hundred shekels belong to those who maintain it for its fruit.
