• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

what does the girl mean?

please read the following sentences at first.

Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon; he let out his vineyard to tenants. Each was to bring for its fruit a thousand shekels of silver.
8:12
But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.

My question is :
why does she say that? I am so confused. I am Chinese and I can't get the proper answer in my country. So I come to this forum for help. I am very sorry if I posted this thread on the wrong place.

A vineyard which has thousands of fruit, and it worths a lot of money.

The vineyard keeps most of the property, some money is given to the yard keepers.

This is what these words say.

You who dwell in the gardens with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice!

Come away, my lover, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the spice-laden mountains.

Who is 'my lover' ? Is he Solomon ? ? I am will be very disappointed if so. Thank U.

"my lover" refers to the master (owner) of the vineyard. In this case, it apparently refers to Solomon. Why are you disappointed on that? Solomon is the owner of the vineyard. Should everything and everyone in the vineyard eagerly expect the arrival of their master?

I did not interpret. I simply clarify the words.
What you read there is probably a true interpretation.
