# General Information:

Throughout the book, it is not always clear who is speaking or who they are speaking to. We have notes telling who some scholars think the speakers are. In 7:1-9 the man speaks to the woman.

# General Information:

In some versions this is 7:2, the second verse of chapter seven.

# How beautiful your feet appear in your sandals

"Your feet are so very beautiful in your sandals"

# prince's daughter

Another possible interpretation is "you who have a noble character."

# The curves of your thighs are like jewels

The shape of the woman's thighs remind the speaker of a beautiful precious stone that a skilled workman has carved. Alternate translation: "The curves of your thighs are beautiful like the beautiful curves of jewel that a skilled craftsman has made" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])

# your thighs

The word "thighs" refers to the hips of a woman and the part of her legs that is above her knee.

# the work of the hands of a master craftsman

The hands are a synecdoche for the person. Alternate translation: "the work of a master craftsman" or "something that a master craftsman has made" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
