Context — Celebration of Beautygenerated

This verse emphasizes the elegance of her feet and the curves of her thighs, using rich imagery to convey admiration. The surrounding verses continue this theme, celebrating various aspects of the beloved's beauty, as seen in verses 2-4.
The Key Word — יָּפ֧וּ, ya.Fugenerated
The verb יָפָה (yaphah) means 'to be beautiful' and is used here in the perfect tense to describe the beauty of the beloved's feet. It indicates a completed action, affirming that her feet are indeed beautiful.
This word encompasses a range of beauty, from physical appearance to the beauty of nature, reflecting the admiration the speaker has for the beloved. The parsing as a third person common plural verb highlights that the beauty is not just singular but is a collective observation.
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 structure of the verse is built around the admiration expressed by the finite verb יָּפ֧וּ, they are beautiful, which governs the subject פְעָמַ֛יִךְ (your feet). This main clause is followed by additional descriptive phrases that elaborate on the beauty being referenced.
The use of the noun phrases and prepositional phrases creates a layered description, emphasizing the beauty of the beloved through comparisons and similes, which is characteristic of Hebrew poetry.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint uses the Greek word ὄψεσθε to translate יָפָה, indicating a focus on the appearance or sight of beauty. This translation emphasizes the visual aspect of beauty, aligning with the admiration expressed in the Hebrew.
The choice of words in the Septuagint reflects a similar appreciation for beauty, though the Greek structure may shift the emphasis slightly compared to the Hebrew original.

The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which matches 12 of the 13 words in the verse. The Dead Sea Scrolls fragment contains 10 words from the verse, with some words restored, indicating a strong textual agreement among these witnesses.

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.

Sandals
Mentioned only in Mark 6:9 and Acts 12:8. The sandal was simply a sole, made of wood or palm-bark, fastened to the foot by leathern straps. Sandals were also made of seal-skin (Ezek. 16:10; lit. tahash, “leather;” A.V., “badger’s skin;” R.V., “sealskin,” or marg., “porpoise-skin”). (See SHOE.)
Mr 6:9. The ordinary oriental sandal is a mere sole, of leather or wood, fastened to the bottom of the foot by thongs, one passing around the great toe and over the fore part of the foot, and the other around the ankle. The sole was sometimes plaited of some vegetable fibre, or cut from a fresh undressed skin; and the "shoelatchet" or thong, and indeed the whole sandal, was often of very little value, Ge 14:23 Am 2:6 8:6. Sandals are usually intended where "shoes" are spoken of in resembling our slipper, and sometimes a wooden shoe with a high heel. The Bedaween wears only a sandal.

In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
