Context — The Beauty of Nature and Lovegenerated
Song of Solomon 2:13 describes the vibrant life of nature as the fig tree ripens its figs and the vines blossom, symbolizing the beauty of love and the call to intimacy. This verse reflects the joy and abundance of spring, inviting the beloved to leave behind the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary moments of love.
The Key Word — חָֽנְטָ֣ה, cha.ne.Tahgenerated
The verb חָנַט (chanat) means 'to spice' or 'to embalm,' but in this context, it conveys the idea of ripening. It is a perfect tense verb, indicating that the action has been completed by the subject, which is the fig tree. This word captures the essence of growth and maturation, suggesting that the figs are now ready and full of flavor.
The use of this verb in the context of the fig tree emphasizes the natural process of ripening, which is a metaphor for the blossoming of love. It signifies not just physical ripeness but also the readiness for a deeper connection.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb חָֽנְטָ֣ה governs the main clause, indicating the action of the fig tree. The structure includes additional phrases that describe the subject and its attributes, such as the early figs and the blossoming vines.
The order of the Hebrew words places emphasis on the fig tree and its action, followed by the vines, which enhances the imagery of abundance and beauty in nature.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates חָֽנְטָ֣ה as ἐχήνεγκεν — meaning 'has brought forth' — which broadens the idea of ripening to include the act of producing. This choice highlights the generative aspect of nature, emphasizing the vitality of the season.
This translation reflects a slight shift in focus from the process of ripening to the result of that process, showcasing the fruitfulness of the fig tree.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint agree closely on the wording of this verse, with the Septuagint providing a direct correspondence to the Hebrew. The Dead Sea Scrolls show some restoration, but the core phrases match the Masoretic Text, affirming the consistency of this passage across traditions.

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.
