| Итог: | This research explores the meaning of the word mesharim in Song of Songs 1:4. It challenges most of the renderings of the term in ancient and modern translations, and in commentaries. Instead of translating it in judicial, romanticised or rhetorical justificatory language, a bolder approach is proposed that brings out the erotic message of this biblical book much better than the translations to date. Mesharim as used in this context may refer to sexual erection. This proposal is supported by insightful linguistic findings made by Naphtali Herz Tur Sinai in ancient Near Eastern sources. The authors, however, do not want to push their reading of mesharim too far, warning of the danger of producing pornographic-like renderings of Song. |
