Alternate translation: "may it always contain mixed wine" or "may I always enjoy its beauty" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-litotes]])

# Your belly is like a mound of wheat encircled with lilies
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00
The Israelites thought mounds of wheat and lilies were pleasant to look at. Much wheat was a sign that there would be much food to eat. They threshed wheat in high, dry places, and lilies grow in low, wet places, so this simile combines beautiful sights that people would not usually see at the same time. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
