\v 8 If you do not know, most beautiful among women,
\q2 follow the tracks of my flock,
\q2 and pasture your young goats near the shepherds' tents.

Hebrew: the flock.

The ULB has "my flock", limiting the interpretation about the speaker to the man.

"the flock" with a heading that the friends are saying this.
NIV

"the flock" with a heading that the man is saying it.
ESV, NKJV, NASB, CEV, GNT

"my flock" with a heading that the man is saying it.
NLT.

Observation: ULB matches interpretation of most versions I looked at.
It's just the oddity of having that interpretation made more explicit than the Hebrew does.

TN
follow the tracks of my flock
“follow along behind the flock”

Shall we leave it or fix the the ULB and TN?

I think we should consider changing this for a future version of the ULB, but it is not urgent.

The audio recording of SNG for branch 22-01 was completed Feb 16, 2022. So we won't make any changes to SNG until after this branch is merged with the master.
