deer in Song of Solomon 2
DEER
This creature shows up in Song of Solomon 2:9: “My beloved is like a roe or a young deer. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Song of Solomon 2:9
“My beloved is like a roe or a young deer. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.”
