Text from Shir Hashirim Chapter 8 vs. 5 – 7: Sourced from Chabad.org 5"Who is this coming up from the desert, embracing her beloved?" "Under the apple tree I aroused you; there your mother was in travail with you; there she that bore you was in travail."

 

רה את עלה מן־המדב י ז� מחת ה ת קת על־דוד מתרפ

תך מה חבל יך ש& התפוח עוררתתך: ה ילד מה חבל ך ש אמ

6"Place me like a seal on your heart, liked a seal on your arm, for love is as strong as death, zeal is as strong as the grave; its coals are coals of fire of a great flame!

 

חותםו ך כ ם על־לב� חות ני כ שימה הב ות א ה כמ י־עז ך כ על־זרוע

י יה רשפ ה רשפ ה כשאול קנא קשה: בתי ש שלה א

7Many waters cannot quench the love, nor can rivers flood it; should a man give all the property of his house for love, they would despise him.  

ים לא יוכלו לכבותז ים רב� מה ונהרות לא ישטפוה אהב את־ה

יש את־כל־הון ביתו ן א אם־יתה בוז יבוזו לו אהב ב
