# like a gazelle or a young stag

See how you translated this in [Song of Solomon 2:9](../02/08.md).

# the mountains of spices

"the mountains that have spices all over them." The woman uses this metaphor to invite the man to make love to her. See how the man uses the metaphor of a mountain of myrrh and a hill of frankincense in [Song of Solomon 4:6](../04/06.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
