Sefer Shir haShirim: Archaeology
This video is part of the Sefer Study series.
This is an analysis of the Archaeology of the Sefer by Nachliel Selavan MA. Ed (www.museumtours.co.il) - more info below.
Archaeology Snapshot is a discussion on the location, timeline, main characters and highlights from history and archaeology, for each Sefer in Tanach.
Shir haShirim - the Song of Songs - is one of three books which are attributed to King Solomon. It is a love song and an allegory to the relationship between G-d and Israel, through the metaphor of the romantic saga between a Gazelle and a Doe. This romance is happening against the backdrop of the land of Israel throughout the seasons of the year, and is full of references to terra, flora and fauna.
