Reading for January 25th

 Read Song of Songs 3.1-5. In 3.1-5: Her nighttime search. Having been sent away, the man does not return, and the woman seeks  him. In verses 2-3: Streets and sentinels indicate an urban setting. In verse 4: The book has a strong feminine orientation, speaking of the mother's house instead of the more normal house of the father (1.6; 8.1-2; see also Ruth 1.8). Did she really bring her lover into her mother's house or is this a dream? In verse 5: Another warning (2.7; 5.8). Comments or Questions..
