Song of Songs 5
Song of Songs 5 (abbreviated [where?] as Song 5) is the fifth chapter of the Song of Songs in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This book is one of the Five Megillot, a collection of short books, together with Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes and Esther, within the Ketuvim, the third and the last part of the Hebrew Bible. Jewish tradition views Solomon as the author of this book (although this is now largely disputed), and this attribution influences the acceptance of this book as a canonical text.
This chapter opens with the man's response to his lover's consent in the closing verses of chapter 4, but the second part of the chapter relates the refusal of the woman to welcome the man into her room at night, and when she changes her mind, he already disappears; in the next part she looks for him in the city and in the final section (verses 10 onwards) she describes to the daughters of Jerusalem how fair the man is.
The original text is written in Hebrew language. This chapter is divided into 16 verses.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes the Codex Leningradensis (1008). One fragment containing a part of this chapter was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, assigned as 4Q107 (4QCantb); 30 BCE-30 CE; extant verse 1).
There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: S; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century).
The Modern English Version (MEV) identifies the speakers in this chapter as:
The start of the fifth chapter and the close of the fourth chapter are not in the same verse in all versions of the Bible: the Vulgate version of chapter 5 starts with "Veniat dilectus meus ...", which is the end of the woman's speech in the last verse of the fourth chapter in most other versions:
Veniat dilectus meus in hortum suum
et comedat fructus eius optimos.
